Why Are We Walking? Easter Seals Walk With Me is an opportunity for anyone and everyone to make a difference in the lives of children and adults with disabilities in our community. By walking—or supporting a walker in their fund-raising efforts—funds are raised that allow Easter Seals to provide services that help people learn to walk, talk and perform other skills essential to daily living; find fulfilling jobs; reach individualized goals early in life; age with dignity; and participate in camping and recreation programs.

Easter Seals Walk With Me is a national fundraising event to raise awareness and support for families living with disabilities! Individual walkers and teams join hundreds of other passionate people in their communities for a day full of entertainment, fun and, of course, our signature walk! Since 2003, over 150,000 people have participated in 500 Walk With Me events nationwide generating over $30 million to support families at Easter Seals. This year, you can help Easter Seals accomplish even more! Each participant's motivation to walk is unique; it may be for themself, a child of a loved one, a neighbor or a colleague. 20% of the US population lives with a disability today- like autism which has become a significant issue for too many families. We walk for them, their future and the families who love them. Walk With Me to help people with disabilities live, learn, work and play. Every walk event is different -- your walk could be at a local school or at the aquarium! But every walk is a lifeline of funds that enables your local Easter Seals to continue providing vital services and support to people with disabilities and their families.
