Michael’s Special 5K Run/Walk is a community 5K Run/Walk ‐ Runners Pushing Riders in Wheelchairs. Michael Sayih is a 17 year old boy diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, a brain injury affecting the motor control centers of the developing brain and can occur during pregnancy, during childbirth or after birth up to about age three. He has participated with his father, Jim Sayih, in community 5K runs since the age of 8. His father either pushed him in his wheelchair or pulled him with a bicycle. The events always brought joy to Michael as he embraced the wind in his face and fast movement as the ground beneath him passed. Michael also has participated with his father in fund‐raising efforts to support Shriner’s Children’s Hospitals for over 12 years with the 911 Fitness Challenge. With Michael’s experience in fund‐raising and passion about running vicariously through Dad, Michael wants others to enjoy the thrill of Runners Pushing Riders with Disabilities and created Michael’s Special 5K Run/Walk, benefiting United Cerebral Palsy.
