Every movement is worth celebrating.
The MPFC Move-A-Thon is a 2-week long fundraiser celebrating every milestone.
Each participating child has a unique movement goal based on their own abilities. Throughout August, they’ll work hard during therapy and at home while sharing their progress with family, friends, and supporters.
When you donate, you’re celebrating their determination while helping even more children receive life-changing therapy and equipment through MPFC.
Because every child deserves the opportunity to move toward their fullest potential.
How the Move-A-Thon Works
1. Meet Our Movers
Get to know each participating child, learn about their journey, and see the movement goal they’re working toward.
2. Make a One-Time Donation
Choose any amount to celebrate their journey.
Every dollar helps MPFC continue providing therapy grants and adaptive equipment to children who need it most.
3. Follow Their Progress
Throughout the Move-A-Thon, we’ll share updates, photos, videos, and milestone moments as our participants work toward their goals.

Meet The Movers
Birdie
Birdie is a determined little girl who is working hard to build the strength and stability needed to reach new milestones. This year, her Move-A-Thon goal is to sit independently for one full minute, a milestone that will strengthen her independence and open the door to even more progress. Every cheer and every pledge helps encourage Birdie while supporting other children on their own therapy journeys.
