Family Achievement Center hosted its eighth annual Move to Your Own Groove All Abilities Run, Walk and Roll on Sunday, September 13, at Colby Lake Park in Woodbury, Minnesota. More than 180 participants and over 45 Family Achievement Center staff volunteers came together for a celebration of inclusion, movement, and community.
Participants of all abilities, from walkers and wheelchair users to seasoned runners, could take part in a 50-meter dash, 1K, and/or 5K route. The activity lawn added bubbles, temporary tattoos, and face painting, while families visited community booths from Family Achievement Foundation, Anna Elder Homes, Blooming Neuropsychology, and more. Many families stayed to connect and play at Family Achievement Foundation’s Family Meetup in the park during and after the race.
This year’s inclusive 5K and all abilities run, walk, and roll raised nearly $16,000 for Family Achievement Foundation’s 2027 initiatives. Those funds will help us continue supporting families with special needs through programs like parent education events, the Peer-to-Peer Family Support Program, and the Parent/Caregiver Retreat.
