Feet on the Street

One cannot travel very long through the streets of Fort Wayne and NOT see a CTN vehicle. CTN (Community Transportation Network) is an organization that provides transportation to medical appointments and many other necessary destinations for people who have none -- as well as provide transportation for other non-profit organizations so they can focus on their own missions.

CTN is entering a team in the upcoming Fort 4 Fitness race sponsored by Parkview Health on September 26 to increase awareness of their organization and to raise funds for the valuable service they provide to our community.

I am proud to say that I am planning to register as a walker in the 4- mile walk/run event. I don’t think running in the ½ marathon is feasible for me, but I do think I can complete walking the four miles! I’m trying to “kick it up a notch” in my daily walks through my neighborhood so I can be ready when the big day arrives. I even printed a training schedule from the Fort-4-Fitness website. If you’re interested in running or walking on September 26, you can learn more about the Fort-4-Fitness event and register to either walk or run by checking out their website at http://www.fort-4-fitness.org/. You better hurry though they are already over 50% full.

If you are planning on being either a participant or spectator on September 26, be sure to look for the CTN team. They would be honored if you would be interested in supporting them through a donation if you feel so led.

If you would like to learn more about CTN and become involved in some way, you can learn more about them by visiting their website at http://www.4ctn.org/. or stop by and pay them a visit at 2701 South Coliseum Boulevard, Suite 1315 which is inside International Park. You will find the CTN staff very nice folks and they would welcome your visit or phone call: (260) 420-3280.
