Team CMT: Monthly Family 5K Fun Run

by | Jul 12, 2012 | 0 comments

Team CMT – Richmond’s Monthly Group Fun Run will met at 8am, Saturday, July 7 at Winterpock Elementary School, 9000 Elementary Way Loop, Chesterfield, VA.  This FREE 5K Fun Run was started by Barb Vonada and Courtney Hollett to “give me and others with CMT who have mobility issues an opportunity to be around similar people with the same day-to-day struggles,” said Barb.

This local Team CMT-Richmond is a subgroup of the larger Team CMT headed by Chris Wodke. As Barb said, “We are all Team CMT, support Team CMT and wear shirts for Team CMT.  We’ll run and raise awareness through our local team.” The goal of this local group is to attract athletes (whether they have CMT or not) to meet once a month for a fun run and create an opportunity to spread awareness about CMT.  “I hope this is an opportunity for those of us with CMT who are challenged with mobility issues to meet each other, share ideas and coping strategies while educating others about CMT.”

Group meets the 1st Saturday of the month!

When Chris Wodke received her acceptance letter to run in the 2012 Boston Marathon Mobility Impaired Division, she was overwhelmed. “I wanted to cry and shout at the same time. I never thought I would be running Boston. It is an honor and I am humbled. It is the achievement,” she explains, “of a dream that seemed out of reach.”

Di also did something special for Team CMT. “I took my body to the absolute limit yesterday, Sunday, April 15th, in honor of Chris Wodke’s Boston Marathon run which took place the next day. I walked (no jogging or running) in one direction and had my husband pick me up when I couldn’t go any further.”
