Calgary Optimist Club assists with a Walk and Roll for SMA

The Dinner Optimist Club of Calgary, Alberta recently sponsored the First Annual Kids In Motion Fun Run and Walk.  The event was a family affair for the benefit of children with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).   The money raised will help supply wheelchair equipment for children.

Many of the children in wheelchairs participated in the Family Fun Rock and Roll portion of the event. Click here to see their photo gallery. 

Optimist Clubs are great at filling needs in their communities. Congratulations to the Dinner Optimist Club of Calgary for filling this very special need for some very special kids.
