The City of Kentwood partnered with Hanger Clinic to host the fourth Limb Loss Awareness 5k on Saturday, April 30 in honor of Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month. We’re pleased to share this year’s race had 297 participants, who set a record for funds raised of almost $20,000.
All funds raised from the event will support Kentwood’s adaptive recreation programs, which empower people with various disabilities to participate in athletic activities in an adapted way to allow for a safe and fun experience. In 2018 and 2019, funds raised from the race helped purchase a ski boat and kayaks. In 2021, funds were used to secure down payments for two jet skis; money from this year’s event will be used to pay off those watercrafts and cover other equipment needs.
