Want to experience a challenging run or walk course while helping out kids living with special needs? Levi’s Link is making that possible this weekend.
Levi’s Link is a special needs program at McLaren Port Huron. The program provides individualized care for patients with special needs such as autism, Down’s Syndrome, sensory processing disorders, and others.
There’s still time to sign up for the 5th Annual Levi’s Link 10K, 5K, and One Mile Fun Run and Walk. The walk will be held both virtually and in person. The in-person event is this Sunday, June 26th at 9:00 a.m. at the Mid-Michigan Materials property on Fisher Road in Jeddo, an expansive gravel pit with challenging terrain.
Levi’s Link got started by Megan Wilson, a local mother with a son on the autism spectrum, wanting to make an improvement at the hospital. Wilson’ research prompted the creation of Levi’s Link at McLaren Port Huron, which is now a model for programs at other hospitals. The Levi’s Link Program at McLaren Lansing will also benefit from this year’s race.
