Walk/Run for Abilis Announces Event Ambassador is Darien Resident Sophia Moubayed

Walk/Run for Abilis is an annual fall tradition, with this year’s walk on Sunday, October 16th, being the nonprofit organization’s 17th annual Walk/Run. Part of that tradition is naming a Walk/Run ambassador! This year’s Walk/Run for Abilis Ambassador is Sophia Moubayed, a 24 year-old resident of Darien, Connecticut, and Abilis program participant. 

Sophia lives independently in her own apartment in Darien and works two jobs, which include at The Café at Darien Library, which Abilis operates, and at Juice Press in Darien. She is currently working on her second degree brown belt in karate and loves to ride horses, which she does at a stable in Stamford, Connecticut.

“Abilis is like a second family to me,” said Sophia Moubayed. “I’m so honored to be named the Walk/Run for Abilis ambassador for 2022 and excited for the walk on Sunday, October 16th!”

The 17th annual Walk/Run for Abilis will take place at Greenwich Point Park in Old Greenwich, Connecticut. Participants can walk 1-mile or run a 5k in-person or participant virtually from anywhere in the world! Participants are encouraged to register in advance at www.abilis.us/walkrun. Registration is free for walkers, $40 for 5k runners 18+ and $20 for runners ages 11-17.
