A2 5k Fundraiser for MS
Saturday March 23rd 9am at Titlow Trails friends, family and clients of A2 Physical Therapy proved you can run, jog or walk a 1k or 5k at any age! In a down pour of rain, cars piled into the Titlow Parking lot with a common mission, to fundraise for our Multiple Sclerosis program, a cause dear to all our hearts and to of course... FUN RUN the heck out of the first Saturday of Spring! This crowd rallied with the brightest smiles! Some trained and some just showed up - but everyone moved their bodies and thats a WIN in our book! There were prizes from Farellis Pizza and Emerald City Smoothie for the 1st to cross the finish line of the 1k and the 5k, male and female. 1k: Lilia Wallace, Gavin Wallace 5k: Asa (UPS student) & Emily Wallace (mom of the 1k winners!) and there were 20 different raffle prizes from other generous Tacoma businesses for the crowd as well! Legendary donuts and Safeway donated donuts and Starbucks and Trader Joes were present as well with all the goodies again! It means the world to us the way this community continues to show up and support eachother. THANK YOU TACOMA!

"I’m really glad I am going to A2. My PT Danny is very knowledgeable and courteous. He pin-pointed the area affected in my hip and back. We are working to improve my strength, range of motion and ultimately lessen my pain with Danny’s wide range of stretches and strength techniques to improve my quality of life. So far in the three weeks that I’ve been enrolled I’m very impressed with A2 Physical Therapy. Thanks Danny!"

"Kristi’s weekly bootcamp has truly gotten me out of my comfort zone. I started attending with my family a few months ago. My first couple of times I was so ore! At times I became discouraged, but I just pushed through! I keep coming every week I am available. There’s no shaming if you must miss a week. You can even have someone go on your behalf if you miss a week. Since starting Kristi’s bootcamp I’ve said yes to other fitness opportunities I would have previously turned down. I now workout EVERYDAY and I’ve lost over 20 lbs since I first started coming. Thanks Kristi and to my family for introducing mw to this awesome bootcamp!"

"I started at A2 about mid-July and I am in the 9:00 am Friday class. A2 has opened me up to new levels of a workout. There is no “golden Standard”. Everyone goes to the best of their abilities. I feel like I can workout without being judged. In my class there are my mom, dad, aunt Lori, aunt Amber, my cousin Mandy and our newest addition Randy. Kristi is always encouraging us to give our all. She is never telling us that we aren’t doing the workout right. Instead she helps us grow by kindly telling us if we do it this way we will get more out of it and she always helps us get there. I decided to do cross country this year and I feel like I can go and be successful and strong because of my A2 workout. Thank you so much for helping me grow in my health."
