Max: gifted a miniwalk by Variety NT
Every kid should dance in the rain. When people ask how Max’s walker helps him, I always answer with a list of the therapeutic benefits it offers him.
‘It builds up his muscle strength’
‘His gait pattern has improved a lot’
‘We hope all the practice will help him to learn to walk independently’

This Grant has made a difference in the life style of Stella as Stella now has an emergency defibrillator that can be used when her heart needs it. Defibrillators assist by re-stetting the heart. This piece of equipment is a life saving tool that will save her life.
