💛 Introducing Mobility in Motion! 💛

In honor of National AccessAbility Week we are excited to announce that this year, we're making Run For Home more inclusive and accessible.

Mobility in Motion is a new, paved route created especially for individuals with mobility challenges.

Whether you're walking independently, using a mobility aid, or participating alongside a caregiver, family member, or friend, this route is designed to let everyone experience the excitement and community spirit Run For Home has to offer.

We're extra excited to cheer on the 4SL Flyers, a team of residents from the Four Seasons Lodge, as they fundraise for the Get On Board: Connecting Community campaign.

Registration for Mobility in Motion is FREE or by donation for those with mobility challenges, thanks to the generous sponsorship made by Pharmasave-Cahoon's Pharmacy

Want to take part? Register at www.drdhfoundation.com/RunForHome and click on Mobility in Motion

Registration is still open for all routes up until, and including the day of the event.
