Join the American Hand Therapy Foundation (AHTF) for our 9th Annual Virtual Run/Walk to support upper extremity research and education! This virtual event will be held during the Hand Therapy Week, on June 2-9, 2024.

Our Honorary Chair is the Immediate Past AHTF Chairman, Jim King, Ph.D, OTR/L, CHT. Please join us in honoring him for all the work he did in service of the AHTF Mission.
