The Kat Walk

Welcome to the second annual Kat Walk.

Ken & Kat Atwood are committed to raising awareness about encephalitis through communication & education. Their goal is to ensure others are best equipped to advocate for themselves and their loved ones.

Encephalitis affects one person every minute, worldwide. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to saving patient lives and limiting brain injury. But, the first step is research; which is critical.

As a result of the Inaugural Kat Walk in 2025, almost $9k was donated to MAYO JAX specifically for encephalitis research!

The Kat Walk is an untimed, half-mile route along the Port Orange riverfront. Whether you walk, run, get pushed, pulled or carried, this Kat Walk is for YOU! It doesn't matter if you go the distance or a few steps, YOU will be celebrated by a BIG Cheer Zone at the red-carpet finish! THIS is the Kat Walk for EVERY body without regard to physical limitation!

By registering for the Kat Walk, you are showing those who are directly and indirectly affected by encephalitis that they are not alone.

So, join us on a walk to remember! Together, we're raising awareness one step at a time! We are stronger together because nobody fights alone!

We look forward to seeing you on the Kat Walk!
