The theme will be “20 for 20" for the Walk N Roll section. There will be lots of fun and interactive activities planned for the entire month of June. There will also be prizes for raising money and awareness of stroke and aphasia! You can participate in 20 for 20 by setting a goal for yourself to reach in the month of June. Here are some ideas: ● walking for 20 mins or 20 steps a day ● stretching for 20 mins ● Reading 20 pages of a book ● Anything that has to do with the number 20!
