I’ve got my ticket! Show support for all the amazing things. RIORDAN CLINIC has done in 50 years and what’s coming for the future.

Some rooms change everything.

On April 25, 2026, the co-learners who heard "there's nothing more we can do" and kept searching will be in the same room. The caregivers who advocated when oncologists said no. The providers who chose the harder path.

This is that room.

Join us for Riordan Clinic's 50th Anniversary Gala: Pearls & Purpose.

📅 April 25, 2026 | 6:00 PM
📍 Mark Arts, Wichita
🎟 Tickets: $75

Between 2023 and 2025, 626 people contacted us and couldn't move forward due to cost. Over the next decade, our goal is to ensure 10,000 new co-learners can begin care.

Your ticket supports patient assistance, research, and infrastructure.

They ask for nothing.
No donations.
No slogans.
No enemies to defeat.

They simply walk.

Right now, Buddhist monks are walking nearly 2,300 miles—from Texas to Washington, D.C.
Step after step.
Silently.
With bowls, robes, and discipline.
Alongside them walks Aloka, a rescued dog—no speeches, no opinions, just presence.

This is not a protest.
It is not performance.
It is practice.

In Buddhism, peace is not demanded from the world.
It is embodied.

The monks walk because walking itself is the teaching:
Mindful step.
Mindful breath.
Mindful intention.

Every step says:
👉 Violence does not heal violence.
👉 Noise does not cure suffering.
👉 Anger cannot end anger.

The Buddha taught that peace begins when the mind stops fighting reality.
When greed softens.
When hatred is not fed.
When compassion becomes action.

That is why this walk is unsettling for some—and deeply healing for others.

Because it exposes something uncomfortable:
We are exhausted from arguing about peace,
yet unfamiliar with living it.

People line the roads.
Strangers cry.
Online trackers follow their progress daily.
Not because the monks are asking us to change the world—

—but because their calm reminds us that we can.

This walk is medicine for anxious minds.
A mirror for divided hearts.
A quiet reminder that peace is not an idea.

It is a discipline.
A daily choice.
A step you take even when no one is watching.

They walk for peace.
And somehow… the world remembers how to breathe. 🪷

Sometimes the loudest message
is a silent step forward.
