Our 2nd Annual Day of Movement will be on 10/10/20. T Shirts will be on sale August 1, 2020 through September 1, 2020. We will have options for kids and adults.
Last year we had almost 400 participants from around the world and raised over $7400 for the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.
Buy a T shirt and then go for a hike, go for a run, push a stroller, roll in a wheelchair, get on a bike, have a dance party, do some gardening, or just do some glute sets. Every movement counts!!!
The Love Thy Hips Race is a one mile walk and run taking place on September 6, 2020. Founder and director, Ellie, describes: “This event is meant to provide general awareness for hip dysplasia, resources for patients and fund raise for the research being conducted by the Boston Medical Center hip preservation department. Educational materials and hip strengthening protocols will be provided by local PAO experienced physical therapists and chiropractors. Prizes will be available to the top fundraisers and runners. The fundraising goal is $10,000. Let’s make the process easier for the next person.”
