Hope & Possibility 5K Run/Walk

Saturday, May 1, 2010

Sawyer Point, Cincinnati, Ohio

On Saturday, May 1st, Resident Home Corporation (RHC), in partnership with the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon and the Achilles Track Club will present the 4^th Annual Hope & Possibility 5K Run/Walk in Cincinnati. The run will celebrate the will of the human spirit, the power of partnership and will once again remind all of us that whether we are faced with a disability or not, we are ALL more alike than different.

The Hope & Possibility Run is for everyone! The goal is to encourage people with ALL abilities to be a part of the Cincinnati Flying Pig experience while meeting new friends along the way. The race will pair people with disabilities with people without disabilities on the course and in training. The pairing of the teams will allow the partners to push each other’s competitive edge and build a bond beyond the physical realities. The Hope & Possibility is a run that will break down barriers and create a unique opportunity for integration and inclusion. Come be a part of making Cincinnati inclusive and engaging for people with disabilities!
