STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. – Friends of Disabled Adults and Children will host its annual Run, Walk ‘n’ Roll on May 3 at Stone Mountain Park’s Railroad Pavilion to bring together people of all abilities for a “movement that makes a difference.” The event encourages people to move in their own way – whether it’s running, walking or rolling – to raise funds for FODAC’s HME Program, which provides mobility aids at little to no cost for individuals in need. Recipients of equipment include the family of a five-year-old girl who, after surgery for hip dysplasia, needed a specialized walker. When they were told it would take several months for insurance to approve the item, they called FODAC. “(Bryan, FODAC’s certified OT and ATP) is very proactive and he understands the pain patens go through trying to navigate the health care system,” the family said. “He called us back in a few hours and told us he had a walker for us. He gave us hope that day.” This year, as part of the event, FODAC is offering the first 100 people to pre-register and check in at the event a free pass to Stone Mountain Adventure. Sign up by May 2.
