Walk-A-Mile-For-Kyle

Open Meadow Alternative Schools alumni and supporters will walk in the Portland Marathon on Sunday, October 5 to honor the memory of a former Open Meadow student.

Join the 6.2 mile memory walk, Walk A Mile For Kyle, to honor the life of Kyle Robert Kepic, a former Open Meadow student who got caught up in using heroin as a young adult and tragically lost his life at the age of 24. The walk will also help to raise awareness of at risk youth and drug addiction, and benefit Open Meadow.
