“Life experience ​is like a rainbow - 

 It has all the colors some we love, 

 some we don’t love as much 

 But seen altogether it’s beautiful 

 Just as some experiences we love 

and some we don’t love so much 

 But, seen altogether, life is beautiful.” 

                                       ~ Gillian Duce​

The “Walk of Life” is an annual event organized and run by Naples NY Rotary Club, and it is focused on the journey we all call life. The rainbow colors represent the circle of life – some days are vibrant and bright while other days are darker and muted. We all have a different “Walk of Life” and this event embraces all of those stages. We are born - we live our life - then we pass away. Some will pass away young - others when older. Naturally, some losses are unexpected and tragic while others succumb after lengthy illnesses. The “Walk of Life” is held to honor and remember all of our friends and relatives who have passed, all who have battled diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and more. It’s a day of events to join together and support each other as we all have our own “Walk of Life.”

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” 

                                                                                                                         ~ Mark Twain​

Every time you see a rainbow,

every time you watch the sunset,

and every time you remember a dream -

they’re all little glimpses into what’s beyond our world.

                                                   ~ Kevin A. Kuhn

“Rainbows introduce us to ref​lections of different beautiful possibilities 

so we never forget that pain an​d ​grief are not the final options in life.”
