Run/Walk for KidsInclusive is our sole fundraising event and is known as much for its incredible spirit as for the number of people who hit the streets to raise funds for our clients with special needs.
Held at Queen’s University Athletics & Recreation Centre (284 Earl Street) on Sunday April 7th, 2019, participants can run (race) or walk:
1 km Kids Fun Run or Walk
5 km Run or Walk (Runners are timed, but walkers are not)
8 km Run (Timed)
All dollars raised are used in various ways to benefit clients including purchasing equipment, supporting specialized education and training, initiating new programs, and assisting families with the exceptional costs associated with raising a child with special needs. If you would like to become a sponsor, please use our sponsor form: 2019 Sponsor Letter

What a Spook-tacular Day!
Youth and staff from KidsInclusive (pictured above-left) pose for a photo during our Halloween PA Day Party on Friday, Oct 27th. Youth came dressed in their favourite costume for an afternoon filled with crafts, karaoke and trick or treating. Above-right, KidsInclusive had a very special visit from Dexter, the evil scientist (Justin V) and Mini Mouse (Katelyn S)!
On The Road Again!
Janessa Gerhardt has a cool, new set of wheels thanks to Queen’s University engineer, Claire Davies and her team of 4th year students (Building and Designing Assistive Technology Lab).
Due to Janessa’s limisted range of motion she was unable to pedal a traditional bicycle. The students redesigned the crankshaft of a 3-wheel bike along with other design modifications, and now Janessa has wheels again! Go Janessa!
