My name is Noel Burt and I am a student in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Regis University in Denver, Colorado. We are organizing our annual Move Forward 5k/10k Race, which will take place on September 21, 2025. We are expecting about 250 people on race day and would appreciate your support in any way you can offer.

About the Event: The Move Forward 5k/10k is an event created by the Doctor of Physical Therapy students at Regis University as a community outreach project. All the proceeds from the event go to two organizations:

Canine Companions for Independence

Non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships

The Regis DPT program has participated in the training of 8 of these puppies. In the past we have several dogs in training like Clover, Joe, Chanel, Captain, and Tippy.

Foundation for Physical Therapy

This group provides funding for new evidence in physical therapy’s role in stroke recovery, injuries, accidents, cerebral palsy mobility in children, and pain management for patients with low back pain

The mission of the Foundation for Physical Therapy is to fund and publicize physical therapy research that determines the scientific basis and values of services intended to optimize physical functioning by physical therapists, and to develop the next generation of researchers

We would appreciate any support and hope you can join us in supporting these organizations!
