I want to learn more about the organization.

10SW, the non-profit organization behind I Want to Walk the Talk, started as a way for Bria Day and Jessica Jostes to do what we are passionate about - helping people live healthy lives. As a 501c(3) not-for-profit, our mission is to develop and coordinate health activities that support adults in Chicago to lead active, engaged and balanced lives.  We affectionately refer to ourselves as wellness party planners with a philanthropic edge; we engage people to promote healthy lifestyles by creating a fun, community-oriented journey. 

We are powered 100% by volunteers.  If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please let us know.
