The event, which is a joint initiative of the Human Kinetics Students' Association and the Faculty of Health Sciences, is taking place a month before the one-year anniversary of Egan's tragic death while attempting to be the oldest Canadian to summit Mount Everest.
Walkers will collect pledges and then walk a 3.5 km route along the Rideau Canal. The walk will start at Ottawa City Hall at noon and end at Montpetit Hall, where a ceremony will take place in the gym at 1:30 p.m.
Walkers will be treated to refreshments, light snacks and a video of Egan's adventures on Everest, and will hear firsthand how much was raised for the scholarship. Also, great prizes will be awarded to the top three fundraisers.
