According to Power Moves founder Lucy Filppu, the hope is to encourage more people to join the club with motive of helping L.A. fire victims. “This[fundraiser] is the right thing to do," Filppu said.
“We’re hoping this is a really nice way to get the Power Moves’ name out there on the Paly campus, so more kids want to join us on the track,” Filppu said. “Regardless of fundraising, just to walk on Mondays at 8 and chill out without competition. It’s a great way to get people more aware of Power Moves.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/walkers-900x612.jpg)

Senior Madelyn Castro said she enjoys attending Power Moves to meet new people while spending time outside. “It [walking] feels really nice because I’ve been able to communicate with different people that I’ve never met before and it just makes you feel good,” Castro said. “You get a little bit of exercise to start off the week. It’s a good way to get energy to get through the week, especially on Mondays with the busy [school] schedule.” (Photo: Kristine Lin)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/P1020804-900x506.jpg)
