Robbie Foundation’s 10th Annual NO LIMITS Run/Walk/Roll 5K is back in person for the first time in years.

Covid-19 has just made us think differently about how to help those that need it. This year the Robbie Foundation is celebrating 12 years of helping improve the quality of life for kids with special needs. One of their biggest fundraisers is the Run/Walk/Roll 5K. This year is its 10th, and how nice to all be back in person.

The Robbie Foundation has suffered a devastating loss in funding. Now more than ever your fundraising efforts are needed to help sustain the mission. If possible, we encourage everyone to seek pledges and donations when participating. This is also open to people of ALL abilities! So gather your friends and family for what always turns out to be a gorgeous Sunday in September.

I love this organization and how it came to be. Lynn and Robert gave birth to their son Robbie in 1999. He was born with Cerebral Palsy. In an instant, their world was changed. I love what they wrote about having a son with special needs:

Does he test our endurance? Of course.

Do we ever feel cheated? Certainly.

Are we emotionally and physically drained at times? Yes.

But being this child’s parents has also brought more joy, fulfillment, and gratitude into our lives than we ever would have imagined. Robbie has taught us true love, patience, selflessness, and devotion. Being parents has changed our lives, but being Robbie’s parents has been an overwhelming blessing God planted on us years ago.

They have dedicated their lives to helping others overcome the challenges of raising a child with developmental disabilities. Let's help them make a difference! Register now!
