• About Ru’s Roots

Our Mission (Reaffirmed)

Ru’s Roots Foundation empowers individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities by offering adaptive exercise programming – all free and volunteer-powered – that builds strength, confidence, and community.

Our Story

Through prayer, community, and a renewed sense of calling, Hanna and Dallas realized that Ru’s legacy would not be defined by loss – but by impact.

Ru’s Roots Foundation was established to honor Ruthie, their late daughter, and her life by creating opportunities for others to thrive.

What began as a personal calling has become a community mission:

To ensure individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities have access to adaptive fitness programs that build strength, confidence, independence, and belonging.

We believe movement is powerful.
We believe community changes lives.
We believe everyone deserves access.
