East Windsor CT – Walkers can win prizes at the Annual Walk for Rides™ to be held on Sunday May 2, 2010 under the dome at the Sports World in East Windsor from Noon – 4 PM.

Why the Walk for Rides™? This is not just another walk. Nowhere else is there a model for sustainable senior mobility like ITNAmerica® and its Affiliates. It is a community solution offering positive transportation experiences and personal connections that have both social and practical benefits for riders and their families as well as volunteer drivers.

When you participate in the Walk for Rides you help improve the well being of seniors and the visually impaired in your community. You also make an important and visible commitment to support and empower friends, family and neighbors as they transition through every stage of life.

Did you know that CT is the 7th oldest state in the nation and our population of 65+ is projected to grow by 64% by 2030? Seniors and the visually impaired need your support.

Applications to walk are now available on the website www.itnnorthcentralct.org and www.WalkforRides.org.
