The Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths & Adults (HKNC) jump-started its annual Helen’s Run/Walk this week with a kick-off breakfast at its Sands Point headquarters. Dozens and dozens of community residents and participants from previous years gathered to brainstorm and collect registration materials for this year’s Helen’s Run/Walk, which will take place on Sunday, April 17, at the Sands Point Preserve. Words of inspiration were provided by HKNC Assistant Program Coordinator Maricar Marquez, followed by insights on getting healthy and motivated from nutritional health counselor and Sands Point resident Sara Siskind. HKNC Executive Director Susan Ruzenski and HKNC Development Officer Marina Carroll also thanked everyone for lending their support to make this year’s fundraising walk the best yet.
