Seeing the Future…My Way!
Get Ready to Walk, Roll, and Celebrate Community in 2026!
The 2026 Walk & Rolls are almost here, and this year we proudly embrace our theme: “Seeing the future…my way.” It’s a celebration of individuality, empowerment, and the strength of every Spina Bifida Warrior who defines their own path forward.
We are thrilled to celebrate 5 years of Walk & Rolls in Northeastern Ohio and an incredible 26 years in Cincinnati! These events remain our largest fundraising and awareness gatherings of the year, bringing together more than 900 participants, donors, sponsors, and community partners.
We Walk & Roll to empower those living with Spina Bifida and to raise essential funds that support advocacy, connections, education, outreach, programs, resources, and community support across our service area.
