MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala. (WHNT) – The Easterseals of Northwest Alabama hosted their annual One Walk For All event on October 29th.
Easterseals is a non-profit organization that works to help people with intellectual or physical disabilities start careers and build relationships. Director Jerry Groce told News 19 this event is one of the best ways for them to interact with the community.
“The goal of our program is to help people with disabilities to maximize their potential, because we know how much these people can achieve in their lives,” said Groce.
The event began with a walk around Muscle Shoals High School. After the walk, people were invited to participate in face painting, a bake sale and live music.
All proceeds from the event will be used to expand access to health care, education and employment for people with disabilities. To learn more about Easterseals of Northwest Alabama, you can go to their website here.
