Finally after what feels like eternity, insurance has approved Linden's new wheelchair and it was delivered yesterday. With its flashy red wheels and tricked out functions, Linden is riding in style. It took a bit to get to this point. We have private insurance and boy has it been a hassle to get it approved. I believe the entire process took 9 months.

After 3 attempts for … [Read more]

A little over two years ago my older brother passed away. He was extremely sick for a quite a while and unfortunately lost his battle. He was the nomadic type. He loved to travel and see the world, from the mountains to the oceans. He was the most generous person I've ever known. He'd give the shirt off his back in freezing temperatures if you needed it.

He continues to strive to articulate his words so everyone can understand … [Read more]
