Learn More About Easter Seals Walk With Me


Easter Seals Walk With Me is a national fundraising event to raise awareness and support for families living with disabilities!
Individual walkers and teams join hundreds of other passionate people in their communities for a day full of entertainment, fun and, of course, our signature walk! Since 2003, over 150,000 people have participated in 500 Walk With Me events nationwide generating over $30 million to support families at Easter Seals. This year, you can help Easter Seals accomplish even more!
Each participant's motivation to walk is unique; it may be for themself, a child of a loved one, a neighbor or a colleague. 20% of the US population lives with a disability today- like autism which has become a significant issue for too many families. We walk for them, their future and the families who love them. Walk With Me to help people with disabilities live, learn, work and play.


Every walk event is different -- your walk could be at a local school or at the aquarium! But every walk is a lifeline of funds that enables your local Easter Seals to continue providing vital services and support to people with disabilities and their families.
Take a step in making a difference in your community. Register today!

Other Info

The first five years of life are the years of learning that shape kids' futures. Yet every year, more than 1 million children with unidentified delays and disabilities enter school with learning and health issues that put them far behind their peers. According to the National Survey of Children's Health, one in five households with children has a child with a special health care need and could benefit from screening and services, yet less than 20 percent of children under the age of five receive a developmental screening.

While every child develops at his or her own pace, there are some milestones parents should be aware of. Easter Seals offers parents free access to an online screening tool to help parents monitor their child's developmental milestones. Widely used with parents by health care providers, preschool programs and early childhood professionals, Brookes Publishing's Ages & Stages Questionnaires® can now be easily completed by parents at MakeTheFirstFiveCount.org

Children with disabilities are counting on you for the support they need to achieve a brighter future. Register your team, and share this information with your family and friends who have young children and start fundraising today.
