Stroke Survivors, Supporters Take Part In 19th Annual Strides For Stroke 5K
Melva Adams gets back in her wheelchair after getting
up to walk across the finish line.
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — It may be the slowest 5K on Philadelphia’s race
calendar, but the annual Strides for Stroke is often an important
milestone for stroke survivors and their families. The 19th edition of
the event was held Sunday morning, near the Art Museum.
The event attracts many groups honoring survivors, and survivors
themselves. Melva Adams half-walked, half-rode a wheelchair with a group
of survivors from Moss Rehab. Crossing the finish line at 1 hour, 16
minutes on the race clock hardly put Adams in the winners circle for the
5K event, but she was on her own two feet and that was a major victory.
