In consideration of the risk of injury while participating in the OneU MD Fall Retreat (the "Activity"), and as consideration for the right to participate in the Activity, I hereby, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, and personal representatives, knowingly and voluntarily enter into this Waiver and Release of Liability. I waive any and all rights, claims, or causes of action arising from my participation in the Activity and release OneU MD, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, volunteers, members, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors, predecessors, heirs, and assigns from liability for injury, illness, paralysis, death, economic or emotional loss, or property damage arising from participation in the Activity, including travel to and from the Activity.
