Our first annual 5K and Silent Auction

This mornings 5K and Silent Auction was amazing! It was inspiring to see everyone show up and then line up at the starting line. Within seconds of the starting gunshot, Eastwood Blvd was lined with runners. The first runner crossed the finish line with a time of 18 minutes 46 seconds. Some participants were experienced runners/walkers, some were first timers - Congratulations to all of you for finishing and THANK YOU for joining us. We hope you all enjoyed yourself.

We are already looking forward to our 2nd 5K next year and hope to see you again!

Pictures will be coming soon.

Thank You!

We want to tell you all THANK YOU for making today such a great success! Our family feels so blessed. We had a great turn out, nice weather, wonderful volunteers, generous sponsors and donations made...everything went so well. We couldn't have done it without all of you - thank you so much!

Why a converted van?

Emylie's power wheelchair gives her independence. Currently Emylie's family does not have a vehicle capable to transport her powered wheelchair. So when the family goes places Emylie uses her manual wheelchair. Emylie quickly tires while using the manual chair and requests assistance (becoming more dependent) or if she is on her ventilator she becomes dependent again relying on her mom or another caregiver to walk alongside with her ventilator. Emylie's powered wheelchair will hold all of her equipment and allows her the ability to be as independent as possible in her mobility. Activities as simple as going to the grocery store with her mom or going to the park or zoo will be more likely and enjoyable for Emylie if she is able to go in her power chair. She also would have the ability to be picked up from school or checked out early instead of missing a full day because of appointments. There are so many possibilities a converted van will open up for Emylie.
