About the Event
Together in Motion is a fun walk/run event where neurodivergent kids and teen athletes can be joyful, move freely, and participate in a warm and supportive environment — all while spreading awareness of KEEN (Kids Enjoy Exercise Now) San Francisco.
We believe that every athlete, regardless of ability or experience, belongs. Our goal is to celebrate neurodivergent athletes and give families a friendly, welcoming space where everyone feels at home.
The event is open to everyone — runners, walkers, families, and friends of all backgrounds. At its heart, it celebrates neurodivergent kids and teens of all abilities and ages, and strives to show that every athlete belongs. Participants are encouraged to dress up as superheroes — because that's exactly what they are.
Come in your cape. Show the world what you're capable of.
About Me
My name is Ethan Liu, and I am a high school student and runner in the Bay Area.
Movement has always been a crucial aspect of my life. It is my way of feeling grounded and connected to the present.
I started Together in Motion because of my experience with my younger brother, who is autistic. Understanding his needs and the way he sees the world has taught me an important lesson about how people can experience the world differently. Being around my brother has inspired me to create a space where neurodiverse kids and teens can feel included and celebrated through physical activity.
My goal with Together in Motion is to create a space where everyone can participate at their own speed and simply enjoy being active together.
