On behalf of ADAPT of Texas, Desert ADAPT, and Gulf Coast ADAPT and other participating groups and organizations, we would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s Fun Run for Disability Rights. This past Saturday was a day filled with fun, food, and friends. Thank you to everyone who made these events possible and to all the sponsors who supported each of the participants. We would especially like to thank all of our Champion sponsors who believe in the work we do. Remember, it’s still not to late to support participants by going to https://adaptfunrun.net/ and to the Sponsor A Runner tab. Your support helps Texas ADAPT to continue advocating for disability rights.

For those of you physically coming to the ADAPT Fun Run,  it will begin  at 12pm and end at 2pm.

Recall that it is at our office this year: 1100 S IH-35 Frontage Road.  Drop off parking is there while we are using all other parking in the   Housing Authority of the City Austin which is at the next open driveway that is marked. Due to the S IH-35 construction, that access to their building is about 200 yards further down the frontage road.  There is still a sidewalk to walk/roll down next to our office.
