    EZ Rider Medical Stroller goes to the perfect recipient!

    Thank you to Convaid by Etac!

    Convaid generously donated a brand new medical stroller as part of our silent auction.  Did you know insurance typically only covers one wheelchair OR stroller every 3-5 years? Yet families need options to transport their medically complex children safely among different activities and terrain. Not only did this donation raise additional funds, it made this necessity affordable for a little girl that needs one!
