Cerritos resident Kim Morrow will serve as an honorary ambassador at Easter Seals' eighth annual Walk With Me fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 3.
Presented by sponsors CVS Caremark, Amway Global, Century 21, Mass Mutual, Pat and Oscar's, Wells Fargo, Kohl's, City of Santa Ana and Friends of The Santa Ana Zoo, Walk With Me benefits those with disabilities who have boosted their independence through Easter Seals.
Born with borderline intellectual functioning, Morrow came to Easter Seals Supported Employment Service in 1993 when she couldn't find a job. Her job development coach took her into the community to help her learn how to use public transportation and find paying work, go through job interviews before being hired at the Artesia Christian Home in 1994.
"It's like a family and I've been here more than 15 years!" she said. "It has changed me in ways that I never expected. Before I went from job-to-job, but this is the first place I've stayed. I think this was my calling."
Registration is $25 and walkers are encouraged to register at www.walkwithme.org/socal and use the online tools to raise money for Easter Seals services.
