Easter Seals West Alabama would like to invite the West Alabama community to join us on Saturday, October 3, 2009, at Riverwalk Park East at the corner of Jack Warner Parkway and Hackberry Lane for our 3rd annual Walk With Me event. Registration for the run begins at 8am with a 9am registration for the walk. After the event sit back relax and enjoy refreshments, children’s activities—fun for the entire family!
"Last year, I decided to take part in an Easter Seals walk ... I’ve also volunteered with an Easter Seals children's therapy program and I've seen the adults that go to the vocational program too. Easter Seals is a very special program, and I'm honored to be a part of it!"
- Carly, age 13
We hear comments from Walk With Me participants like Carly all the time. They come away from an Easter Seals Walk With Me event knowing they’ve helped a great cause ... and they have fun walking with their family, friends and co-workers. You can too!
Walk With Me unites thousands of people in a common cause - to provide help and hope for individuals and families living with disabilities. Proceeds from Walk With Me support local Easter Seals services for children with disabilities including medical rehabilitation (physical, speech, and occupational therapy).
Our Honorary Ambassadors
When you register for Walk With Me, you won’t just receive the typical race number, wrist band, or t-shirt. You will be partnered with an Easter Seals honorary ambassador - a person with a disability who has benefited from Easter Seals services. So come walk with Hayden, Makana, Charity, Ruth and Omari.
Hayden, age 3, came to Easter Seals in October 2006 when he
was 17 months old. He has Wolf-Hirschorn Syndrome and
cortical-visual impairment.
Charity, age 6, has Rett Syndrome and receives Occupational and
Speech Therapy from Easter Seals.
Makana came to Easter Seals in 2004 when she was 2.
She has Down Syndrome and hypothyroidism.
Ruth, age 4 has Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum, blindness,
diabetes and a speech-language delay.
Omari, age 6, has Autism Spectrum Disorder. He receives
speech therapy for a language delay and occupational
therapy for sensory issues.
