New to VFT? Here's what you need to know!
Participants are invited to walk, jog or ride through the Blackstone Valley on one of three non-competitive routes: a Golden Mile walk, a 5K walk/run or a 30-Mile cycling route. The variety of routes means that people of all ages and abilities, those with and without disabilities or mental health challenges, are able to come together as equal participants. All routes begin and end at the Alternatives Whitin Mill in Whitinsville, MA, where participants come together to enjoy lunch, entertainment, raffles and family-friendly activities.
All proceeds from the Tour fund essential programs at Open Sky serving individuals with complex challenges such as mental health, intellectual/developmental disabilities, and homelessness. By coming together with others, sponsors and participants are helping to ensure the youth, young adults, and families Open Sky serves will have the support they need to lead fulfilling lives.
