KIDS Center Walk and Roll Fundraiser

I am posting this to ask for your help. I work closely with an amazing nonprofit here in town that serves kids with disabilities. I've had the chance to spend time around these kids at events watching them do the every day work to push past their limits and discover their potential. The Center does great work, but needs your help because they turn no child away. In these tight times, that spirit of helping everyone means more now than ever. But they can only stay true to this vow with help from people like you.

I am raising money for the Center's WALK & ROLL for Kids event this May. I'd love for you to join me, walk, do your own online fundraising page, etc. But at a minimum I'd love for you to consider a small donation and ask that you send this email on to others that you know.

A friend of mine works at the Center because of an experience his daughter had. Below is a short video clip aired recently on WAVE3 that shares their story. THIS is why I walk. So kids like Sophia have a place to help them see their ABILITY.

Here are some images I shot last year of therapy sessions in progress at the center:

Rolling around on the mat


Look at those curls!




This kid just cracked me up!




Check out those cool Spiderman shoes!


His therapist had him really working hard, look at that sweat!


Practicing daily living skills, like getting dressed


This kiddo was showing off his skills for me! He'd do something then ask, "Did you get a picture of that?!"




Balancing




Oooohh.... this one was tough!


Look at how hard he is working!
