Participants range in nationalities from Canadian, Mexican, Guatemalan to American and in religious background. The first day of the trail began with a meeting at the Southside Presbyterian Church in Tucson, Arizona with a press conference and a distribution of crosses representing migrants that have died in the Southern Arizona desert. Volunteers then crossed into Sasabe, Sonora, Mexico for a special ceremony for migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border followed by 4.7 miles to the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge. Day two included 13.3 miles covered from 6am to the early afternoon. Photo by Deanna Dent
