A warm-up and welcome will be at 8:45 and the runners will take off at 9am, with the walkers following right after.
April is Autism Awareness Month so we are particularly honoring and supporting those individuals who walk off the beaten path. These individuals often experience challenges that others don’t.

If you can’t make the event, but would like to support Mind Matters, we will gratefully accept donations.

Thank you and hope to see you there!
