Kevin got his van today!


It is hard to catch Kevin when he is not flashing his contagious smile. But he was especially excited today. Watching him this afternoon flooded my heart with feelings far beyond what I had expected to feel. It is a feeling I will never forget.

We searched for some time to find just the right vehicle with the funds we had to work with. Kevin’s chair is heavy and requires a strong lift. We finally located a great fit from a private seller in Brigham City.

We arranged for the presentation at Crossfit Draper, Brandon Bickmore’s gym. Brandon donated the truck that pulled the trailer we needed for accommodations for most of the walk. We thought it would be fitting to have Kevin receive his new transport at the business of one of his greatest supporters.

The news clip is a bit inaccurate, but the message is still there. Kevin can now go places with his family and his chair. It will have a big impact on him and his family. That he is happy about that is easy to see in KSL’s video.

Thank you all again!

We are continuing to get donations and working to provide limbs for kids that need them. We have a long way to go. Pass the word along!

To paraphrase Tiny Tim “God bless you – everyone!”

Merry Christmas and a wonderful Holiday Season for all!!!
