Wheel Run 2006
(Grand Rapids, MI) On Saturday April 1, 2006 area wheelchair athletes, runners, and walkers, will converge on the Allendale campus of Grand Valley State University to help buy wheelchairs for people in need.
The Grand Valley State University's physical therapy students are proud to announce the 10th Annual Wheel Run Together 5K Challenge and 1-Mile Fun Walk benefiting Alternatives in Motion, a local nonprofit organization that purchases wheelchairs for individuals with no health insurance or other financial means.
This tradition started in 1997 when a group of students wanted to provide an opportunity for wheelchair and running athletes to enjoy a fun and challenging event together. Race organizers from last year's event were able to contribute $6,000 to help Alternatives in Motion achieve their mission.
