The event will be located at Upper “D” Park in Washington, DC—rolling, walking, running, skipping and otherwise traveling around the park to raise funds to support disability rights and services in America. FUN*RUN proceeds allow ADAPT to continue the fight to get and keep people out of nursing homes and other institutions; for accessible, affordable, integrated housing; for better wages and benefits for community attendants; to break down barriers that keep people with disabilities of any age from living, working, and socializing in the communities of their choice. And these funds allow us to continue educating Congress on why they need to pass the DISABILITY INTEGRATION ACT. The theme of this FUN*RUN is ACTIVISM THROUGH THE AGES. We’re focused on uniting—old and young—to fight national, state, and local budget cuts that result in fewer services and supports and unnecessary institutionalization. Medicaid—as we know it now—is going to change. We must advocate for reforms that promote community integration for people with disabilities of all ages. Our National FUN*RUNNERS perfectly reflect our theme. Eight-year-old Heath Montgomery of Montana is among ADAPT’s youngest warriors. Utah’s Barb Toomer was still fightin’ the fight at age 88 when, sadly, she passed away in late April. By joining us today—whatever your age—YOU are supporting Heath, Barbara, and the hundreds of ADAPT activists nationwide to continue work to achieve the ADA’s full promise for community integration, inclusion and independence.
