At eight years old, Ashley was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome and spent nearly a year in the hospital after losing the ability to walk. Despite doctors believing she would never walk again, her mother helped her slowly regain my mobility through years of dedication and recovery. Today, Ashley is a licensed professional counselor, using her experience to help others find resilience, healing, and hope.

Thank you, Philadelphia, for another unforgettable Walk & Roll this past Saturday! 💙💚

A special shoutout to our Walk & Roll Manager, Zach, whose passion, dedication, and heart helped make this event so meaningful—especially here in the Foundation’s hometown of Philly.

And thank you to our incredible staff, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who showed up, walked, rolled, supported, and raised awareness with us. Because of you, this event continues to grow and bring our community together in such a powerful way.

Philadelphia—we can’t wait to do it again next year! Stay tuned for more photos!
