Walkers, Strollers, Wheelchairs
THE EVENT
Join hundreds of supporters at the 12th
Anniversary Walk n’ Roll on May 19 to support Children’s Specialized Hospital.
We’re raising money for the nation’s largest and best pediatric
rehabilitation hospital. With 13 sites in New Jersey, we treat over 33,000
children with special needs each year.
We invite family, friends and partners of Children’s Specialized to come
together to walk or roll a 5K or 1 mile course while enjoying the
beautiful scenery of Johnson Park and the Raritan River. The Walk n' Roll is
followed by a carnival for young and old, where everyone can enjoy live
music, games and prizes and learn more about the special needs that our
patients at Children’s Specialized face each day. To register or donate visit
www.childrens-specialized.org/walknroll.
Johnson Park is easy to get to via Routes,
287, 18, 22 or 1 as well as the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey
Turnpike.
The park is ours for the morning and there is so much to do..... We'll see
you on May 19.
