South Central Walk for Williams Syndrome

Please join Sarah Arrocha and her family for the third annual Walk for Williams Syndrome!

This 5K walk and picnic at Henry Myers Park in Rockwall, Texas is to raise money to enrich the lives of individuals and families affected by Williams Syndrome through support, research and education.

Registration starts at 12 noon and the walk/event starts at 2pm.

If you are not able to participate in the walk but would like to donate, please follow this link: http://www.williams-syndrome.org/south-central-walk-williams and click on the "donate" button. All contributions are tax deductible.  As of Friday 5/11/12 this group is only $350 short of meeting their goal. Please consider a donation if you can't make the walk!

Sarah's mom Charlotte also adds the following: "The WS kids will be very excited to have more people participating and will greet everyone as long lost friends. Some of the parents are very religious (perhaps due to the nature of the medical issues many of them have to deal with) and there is often a prayer before the picnic. We just stand and smile."

    Overcast skies and threat of rain cause our group to miss the social event of the year? No way! We had a great turnout and surpassed our donation goal. Thanks everyone!

    Charlotte, sorry I can't go. I thought I would be cleared to walk 3 miles but my PT said today that it probably wasn't a good idea yet. I'll be good to go next time though.

    I am assuming you register the day of the event but I am going to let Charlotte field your question Whitney. :)
