For the past 15 years, the annual Walk/Run for Abilis has become a hallmark celebration and its largest annual fundraiser and “friend-raiser” event. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Abilis has moved the walk/run to a virtual event on Oct. 18. Participants are encouraged to register in advance at abilis.us/walkrun and can complete their 5k or 1-mile run anywhere.
Amy Montimurro, CEO and president of Abilis, said, “While we can”™t gather in person to hold our annual walk/run, we can encourage families and friends to form teams, challenge one another and share videos and photos with us of their walk or run. We are excited to see the creativity and the places our supporters will go.”
There is no registration fee, but participants are encouraged to make a donation or fundraise for the event.
