Walk for Cerebral Palsy set for March 30

Its easy to talk about helping.

On March 30, folks can start walking to help the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas.

The Shootin Out Cerebral Palsy 5K Walk is the first of what organizer Candy Schulz hopes to make an annual fundraising event.

Go big or go home. My goal is 500 entries, said Schulz, whose 8-year-old daughter receives cerebral palsy treatment at the hospital. Long as theres not a hail storm or tornado, well be there.

Schulz turned to the Scottish Rite after physicians at other hospitals told her that Kaitlyn, her daughter, would grow out of her abnormalities.

Physicians at the hospital diagnosed the second-grader with cerebral palsy and had a brace built to help keep her left foot from turning in.

Weve been there twice since then and [they] never sent me a bill, Schulz said. Nothing.

The hospital is a pediatric center for the treatment of orthopedic conditions, certain related neurological disorders and learning disorders, such as dyslexia.

Admission is open to Texas children up to 18 years of age. Patients receive treatment regardless of the familys ability to pay, a spokeswoman for the hospital said.
