MOVE The Distance

MOVE Adapted Fitness is dedicated to making physical activity accessible for all members of the community who need assistance reaching their mobility goals. MOVE promotes physical and mental health by providing a safe, supportive space where people with disabilities are able to improve their functional mobility, achieve increased independence, and gain connection to a community of individuals who may have shared experiences. Our commitment to decrease physical and financial barriers is demonstrated through our provision of specialized equipment, trained support, and affordable services.

Through the implementation of therapeutic exercise we address the varied needs of our clients – with injuries ranging from spinal cord and brain injuries to chronic conditions such as Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.

MOVE The Distance is a virtual event and will take place from August 30 - September 19. Participant's will choose the distance they wish to complete over a three week period. Participant's will run, walk, cycle, roll, or row either an 8km, a half marathon (21.1km), or a full marathon (42.2). Additionally, participants are welcome to join forces with others in order to complete their chosen distance as a relay.

As a result of your support, our members have access to a safe and supportive space to move their bodies, reach their mobility goals, and become part of a community. Specifically, your donation goes directly toward assisting individuals with disabilities engage in regular physical activity and exercise, thereby improving both their physical and mental health and wellness.
