Run Seal Beach Presents Donation to GAF 2019 07/04

The Golden Age Foundation has been awarded a generous grant from Run Seal Beach to purchase replacement four-wheel walkers for use by Leisure World residents. 

Run Seal Beach has sponsored runs for the past 45 years using the funds that it raises to support a wide variety of community groups. Residents of LW can borrow a variety of mobility aids Monday to Friday, 12:30-2:30 p.m. from the Mobility Aids Storeroom located in Clubhouse 6 on the first floor near the west exit.

 In addition to four-wheel walkers, residents can also borrow tennis ball-style walkers, knee walkers, wheelchairs and transport chairs, all at no charge. 

Run Seal Beach’s next run is March 24, 2020. This year’s run had runners ranging in age 6-83 with a quite a number of older runners. 

There were some familiar Leisure World names in the race results. It’s a fun event, so lace up your running shoes and start training for next year’s run. Even some families run together.

 Like the Golden Age Foundation, Run Seal Beach is staffed only by volunteers, numbering 400 this year. If your running days are behind you, volunteering to help for a day is a wonderful experience.
