Green Pastures, a Christian non-profit organization that provides care and private residential homes for six children with disabilities, invites youths and adults to experience the challenges of the disabled at their third annual “Walk-and-Roll Aware-a-thon” fund-raiser. The event is scheduled 10 a.m. to noon, July 21, at Rengstorff Park in Mountain View.

Participants are encouraged to obtain pledges for Green Pastures from friends and neighbors, a set amount for each lap completed. Anyone who would like to try navigating the course from a disabled person’s point of view can borrow wheelchairs.

The children who live at Green Pastures also participate in the course.

Participants may also join in a wheelchair basketball game with professional wheelchair athletes.

The “Walk-and-Roll Aware-a-thon” is designed not only to raise funds for Green Pastures, but also to bridge the gap between able-bodied and disabled people.
