Walk for Independence set for July 19

July 07, 2008 @ 11:35 PM

HUNTINGTON -- The Mountain State Centers for Independent Living will offer its fifth annual Walk for Independence on Saturday, July 19, at Ritter Park.

Registration begins at 8 a.m., and the walk begins at 9 a.m.

The event aims to raise awareness of the successes of people with disabilities through the community programs of Mountain State Centers for Independent Living.

Proceeds will benefit the community services program, which provides durable medical goods, ramps and home modifications to people with disabilities.

Teams and sponsors can also adopt a person on the waiting list to receive services. This allows someone to build a specific ramp, put in a specific walk-in shower or provide hearing aids to an adopted person.

More information is available at www.mtstcil.org/walk or by calling Tina Smith at 304-525-3324 or e-mailing tsmith@mtstcil.org.
