Did you know that one of Latham’s initiatives in 2017 is improved Health and Wellness for our residents? Is this one of your New Year’s resolutions as well? If so, consider joining our 2017 Falmouth Road Race team!
In 2012 we started participating in the historic race, and our runners have collectively raised over $85,000 to support physical fitness initiatives for both our student and adult residents, many of whom have insatiable appetites. This year Latham Centers was granted 16 Runner Spots, and each runner will be asked to raise $975. Imagine how much $15,600 (or more!) can do for our residents?
This will enable our staff to implement new, and expand upon pre-existing, life-changing programs for our residents who call Latham home. For example, this year, from previous Falmouth Road Race funding, adult residents were able to walk onto the Special Olympics Field confidently and with new uniforms, while students for the first time participated in regular yoga classes led by Physical Education Instructor, Monique Williams.
The race will be held on August 20th at 9am, so let me know if you would like to join me and TeamLatham in 2017! I guarantee that spots will fill up fast – 774.353.9126 or kfryklund@lathamcenters.org.
