Run, Roll & Stroll 2022

This August marks our second annual Run, Roll & Stroll marathon fundraiser. This virtual event is our biggest fundraiser of the year! This event allows participants to tailor the activity to their own wishes and abilities. Register by choosing the distance: 5K, 10K, Half or Full Marathon. Then, plan how to complete the challenge – rolling, walking, running, soccer drills, obstacle course, kayaking, etc. Choose the location, the event day(s) between August 6th and 27th, and even fun attire and companions (dog, cat, iguana, action figure, balloon animal, etc). The chosen distance can be completed all at once, or spread it out over several days. The point is to get moving and have fun! Take pictures, record times, and return back to the registration site to enter the results. Your entry free will come with a t-shirt, medal, digital swag, bragging rights and a charitable donation to Kids In Motion Therapy Clinic (KIMTC).

Last year’s Run, Roll & Stroll was not only super fun, but successful! We had over 130 participants plus multiple additional sponsors and donors, which brought our grand total for the event to over ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS! It was awesome to look through the pictures participants posted, and see everyone having a good time getting moving for a great cause. We have five prize categories, including Most Creative Outfit, Most Unique Race Companion, Most Unique Race Course, Most Creative Finish Line, and Most Interesting Way to Complete the Distance. More information to come on this year’s prizes!

By participating in the Run, Roll & Stroll, you’ll be helping kids get the intentional care that they need with special equipment purchases, for both the physical classrooms and the travel kits as therapists make house calls. You’ll be helping KIMTC keep the staff roster growing to help take on more kids as well as filling in the gaps for low income families. Every dollar matters for these kids. The impact that you are making will truly last a lifetime. 

There is a great need for physical, occupational and speech therapy for children in Whatcom County. There are children in our community who are living with neurodevelopmental disorders that need such therapies in order to reach their full potential and live their life to the fullest of their abilities. Unfortunately, there are long wait lists, high costs, low insurance reimbursement rates, and other barriers and obstacles. This is where the heart behind the mission of Kids in Motion Therapy Clinic comes in. The mission of Kids in Motion Therapy Clinic is to provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy for the children of Whatcom County and surrounding areas who have neurodevelopmental disorders. Kids in Motion is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization offering home based and clinic based therapy services to support the development of successful strategies for daily living. Children receive quality intervention and caregivers are empowered to help children meet developmental milestones.
