The walk, which highlights National Red Ribbon Week, begins at 8 a.m. with a 30-minute rally at Mission Viejo High School Stadium, 25025 Chrisanta Drive. U.S. Navy veteran and Purple Heart recipient Redmond Ramos will kick off the day speaking at the rally. Redmond lost his left leg five years ago while serving our country but has never let that slow him down. He holds 19 medals from numerous athletic competitions held for military veterans, including the Warrior Games, Endeavor Games and the Invictus Games. Redmond is also the 2015 Triumph Games inaugural champion. He enjoys giving back through volunteer work with youth and other veterans. The theme of the event – “Drug Free, Warrior Strong” – was inspired by Redmond.

After the rally, the crowd of more than 4,000 sporting red T-shirts will form a red ribbon as they walk down La Paz Road through the Oso Creek Trail to a Community Fair and 9th Annual South County Disaster Preparedness Expo on the Village Green at Oso Viejo Park, 24932 Veterans Way. The fair, which runs from 9 a.m. to noon, includes games, activities, food and music along with invaluable information for families and individuals about emergency preparedness.
