Imagine a disease that combines the worst symptoms of muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, immune deficiencies and oftentimes brings cancer. Children and young adults with A-T struggle with all things that we take for granted like walking, talking, eating, playing, focusing their eyes...the list goes on.

Join the Education Organization's virtual walkathon weekend March 25 - 27 when #EtownWalksForAT and let's walk together towards a cure one step at a time!

Here's how you can join:

1) Register for FREE by clicking "Start Fundraising." Create or join an already existing team. When you register, you will be given a free fundraising page.

2) Make a personal pledge for how many miles you will walk in your walkathon. We encourage each participate to complete at least 2 miles! Update your fundraising page with the distance you are pledging to walk.

3) Be your first donor! Since there is no registration fee for this event, we encourage you to make your first donation of $10 or more to your own fundraising page. Donors are more likely to donate to your page when they see that you've donated too!

4) Share your fundraising page on social media leading up to your walkathon and even during walkathon weekend! Ask friends and family to donate. They can donate a single amount or make a pledge to donate $10 for every mile you walk. Get creative with your ask!

5) Join us for walkathon weekend March 25-27! Walk anywhere, at any time during walkathon weekend. Remember that this weekend is all about spreading awareness for A-T while also raising funds to support the A-T Children Project in their mission to cure A-T. Not sure what to wear for your walk? Wear red to represent the A-T Children's Project!
