CardioFlex, Make A Wish

CardioFlex Therapy Davie is excited to support the Make A Wish Foundation on its next event in South Florida, making wishes come true one step at a time at the Walk For Wishes® 5K Walk/Run at Zoo Miami. More than $115,000 was raised last year to grant the heartfelt wishes of 23 children facing life-threatening medical conditions in Southern Florida.

There are four steps to granting a wish. Each step builds on the next and creates amazing experiences that delight wish kids and their families. Make a Wish creates an unforgettable experience driven by the child’s creativity. In that spirit CardioFlex physical and occupational therapists get together to help make wishes come true.

Participate as an individual or get together with family, friends and colleagues to form a team.

Granting wishes takes hundreds of individuals and entities that are committed to making a difference. Help make wishes come true one step at a time at the Walk For Wishes® 5K Walk/Run at Zoo Miami on Saturday, April 14, 2018.

Zoo Miami 12400 SW 152nd Street, Miami, FL 33177
