Bowling Tournament & Fundraiser









Thank you to all who supported Alex and our family during our bowling tournament and fundraiser. We really appreciate the contributions which helped us raise funds for special equipment. We've used some of the money to purchase a custom-made "Zip-Zac Chair" for Alex and she loves it. It's basically a wheelchair that's lower to the ground which makes it easier for her to get around and play with toys on the floor.  We plan to use our fund for adaptive equipment that will give her access to other fun activities like cycling and skiing.
Please don't feel bad or "sorry" for Alex and her condition. Our goal isn't to raise sympathy for her - it's the opposite actually.  We're doing everything we can to help her live a life free of sorrow and excuses, and teaching her to overcome every obstacle and challenge life throws at her. Sometimes it just takes a little creativity and resourcefulness.
