Walk If Off will be holding our 4th Annual 5K Run-Walk-&-Roll for Spinal Cord Injury Recovery on Saturday, May 31, 2014. This is a chip-timed event for all who want to race.

One hundred percent of Pledge collections for Walk It Off clients go directly on credit to that individual’s account at Walk It Off.
