Why Are We Running?
Every step is important for a runner or walker. But for kids with special needs, every step has a greater meaning. The Run For Kids Center team is coming together to help make sure that no child is turned away who needs our help. Since 1959, the Kids Center for Pediatric Therapies has been helping over 700 children each year who face challenges such as autism, Spina bifida, Down syndrome,
cerebral palsy, ADD/ADHD, sensory integration issues and more. We provide outpatient speech, physical, and occupational therapy as well as family
education and support to families raising children with special needs. We see the ability in disability.
The funds we raise help us provide care for families who cannot afford it. Every dollar stays right here in our community and goes to help a local child see the "ability" in their disability.
