SEPTEMBER 1st – 30th
Our sixth annual walk event will take place in September. You can choose to participate virtually or attend an in-person walk at select cities. We invite families and friends of individuals diagnosed with KAT6 syndromes to raise awareness during this time. The KATwalk fundraiser is a vehicle that enables everyone to participate at the activity and/or donation level they choose.

ORDER A KATWALK T-SHIRT
This year tickets to in-person walks will NOT include a t-shirt. In the spirit of being eco-friendly, we encourage people to wear a shirt from prior KATwalk events. If you do not own a KATwalk shirt, you can order shirts in youth and adult sizes at our shop, which will be shipped to your home address.
PARTICIPATE VIRTUALLY
If you can’t join us in person, we encourage you to register for a VIRTUAL walk! (free)
Choose any date between September 1st and September 30th to walk/run/ride. You can join us from wherever you are by organizing a casual KATwalk for a small group or by participating on your own. You can extend the message and broaden support by joining or creating a fundraising team and sharing this page with your friends and family.
Be sure to share your photos with us on social.
