Easterseals hosts 2-week event: Walk/run/rally & live telethon
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — Molly Hogeboom, the community engagement manager for Easterseals, stopped by WMBD This Morning to visit about important events in the Central Illinois Easterseals calendar. The 2-week extravaganza kicks off with the walk\run\rally. She said 'April 19, we're having two races at the exact same, in two different locations, because we're really brave like that.' One location is the East Peoria Levee District, and the other is Tipton Park in Bloomington. She said, 'it's a great opportunity to come out and not only have some fun spring morning activities but also to celebrate the Easterseals families that we serve.' Hogeboom defined the Easterseals effort as 'we provide specialized pediatric therapy services and other resources to children with developmental delays, disabilities, and other special needs.' These run, walk, rallies, beginning at 8 a.m., April 19, are only one event in a larger 2-week schedule that also includes a live nightly telethon April 21 through April 25, hosted on WMBD and WYZZ. The deadline to register for the race of your choice, according to Hogeboom, is 'about 2 minutes before they say go.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
