Lace up those sneakers (we like red ones) because you can participate in Run FASD 2022 from ANYWHERE. Self-advocates, family members and community leaders are gathering to bring awareness to FASD and build community or making plans to run on their own. Run FASD, the dream and vision of Author, Runner and Self-Advocate Rebecca Tillou is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors. We are excited to recognize The Florida Center for Early Childhood as a platinum sponsor for Run FASD. You can check out the five locations they’ve set up to do Run FASD across Florida here.
“The Florida Center for Early Childhood whole-heartedly supports FASD United’s Run FASD Event,” said Dr. Kristie Skoglund, CEO of The Florida Center. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for individuals and organizations from all over the nation to come together to raise awareness and support each other’s efforts to help individuals and families navigate this life-long disorder. We have been so grateful for the enthusiasm we’ve received from our families, with people participating in run/walks all over the state of Florida.”
