We are excited to host at this beautiful Southshore location , and we invite you to join us for a day of walking, running, and wheeling to raise funds for Spina Bifida of Louisiana.

As a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, our mission is to provide support to individuals with spina bifida and their families, while also raising awareness about spina bifida and its prevention.

We invite you to grab your family and friends and join us as we walk, run and wheel at the beautiful Kenner City Park, all while raising funds for a great cause. Simply click the "Register a Team" button next to Team Leader above to start fundraising. You can also help spread the word by sharing our page with your loved ones.

Your donations help us continue to provide vital support and resources to our families. Some of the supports and services we provide include Camp Friendship, Family Conference, Annual Family Picnic, Annual Holiday Party and much more. We hope to see you at this year's Walk n' Wheel as we come together to make a difference in the lives of those affected by spina bifida.
