NDCPD to host disability-health awareness walk
The North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities, a University Center of Excellence on developmental disabilities on Minot State University's campus, is hosting "Talk, Walk and Roll," a disability health-awareness walk Oct. 12, 4-6 p.m. People of all abilities are welcome to participate, and participants will meet in front of Old Main at 4 p.m.
"This event is intended to promote inclusive communities and raise health awareness for people with disabilities in a fun and unique way," said Emily Rodacker, NDCPD project coordinator. "Talk, Walk and Roll provides an opportunity for participants to talk with people as they walk around the beautiful Minot State University campus and roll through the evening with friends, just for the health of it."
October is National Disability Awareness month. Local organizations and businesses will be stationed along the route to provide information and resources on disabilities. Participants can also tour the new Student Wellness Center and see other improvements happening at MSU.
