For the past
30 years, Lekotek of Georgia has quietly gone about the business of helping
children with disabilities and their families. Lekotek facilitates the
inclusion of children with disabilities into their families and communities by
loaning adapted toys, educational materials, computers and even iPads. These
tools equalize the playing field making it possible for children with special
needs to play and learn with siblings and peers. Computers and iPads are
outfitted with appropriate software and applications to meet every child’s
individual needs – whether the child has a visual or hearing impairment, autism,
Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, genetic disorder or any special need.
The Lekotek
Run 4 Kids is gearing up for its 21st year. Its goal is to raise
money for the nonprofit so additional children can benefit. The event will take
place Saturday, August 17th.
Both the start and finish are at the Dunwoody
campus of Georgia Perimeter College. The event courses provide options for
every fitness level – a four-mile road race and walk and one-mile fun run. The
four mile begins at 8AM and the one mile at 9:00 AM. In addition to pre-race
registration, runners can also sign up the morning of the event, beginning at 7
AM.
The race is
well organized, runner friendly, with refreshments and family activities
following the run. You don’t have to an athlete to participate, just someone who
wants to make a difference!
