"I am delighted to serve as ADAPT Team Captain along with Ines Rosales for the first ever TEAM ADAPT Virtual 5K/1 Mile Fun Run/Roll/Walk," says Mike Woods. "ADAPT Community Network reaches thousands of families and individuals living with disabilities throughout New York City. I am continually impressed by the scope and magnitude of their programs and ability to positively impact people's lives."

"As a longtime supporter of ADAPT, I am thrilled to be a Team Captain of this new event with Mike Woods," says Ines Rosales. "Over the years, I have seen firsthand ADAPT's vital ongoing work to provide programs and services for children, families, and adults living with disabilities."
