Amity Physical Therapy sponsored a 5K run on Sept. 24 at Milford’s Walnut Beach pavilion to raise money to supply a small Ugandan village with fresh drinking water.
Michael Dow, who founded the practice 18 years ago and opened a location in Milford facility two years ago, said, “Since we’re in a health/fitness profession, it helps runners, athletes and the general fitness-conscious public to remain injury free with proper ‘maintenance’ of muscles, ligaments and joints – in fact, the entire muscular-skeletal framework of the body.”
The “Running for Water for Africa” race was among a number of road races Amity has sponsored for charitable causes over the years. The company also offers “warm up and cool down” exercises on site for participating runners.
