My Nonprofit Reviews

Jackson, age 12, was unable to ride bikes with his brother because he couldn't balance, steer, stop and pedal all at the same time. Variety provided him with a 4 wheel pedal bike and he is now off to the races. While he still has challenges in understanding the concept of braking, it has a bar on it that allows us to walk/run behind him and limit him on his speed and assist him in the stopping process. He now takes 1 1/2 mile bike rides, while one of us runs along side him. He has also informed us that next year, he is going to participate in a kids triathlon with his brother (which we will adapt accordingly). Without Variety, he would not be able to be as mobile and be as participatory in everyday simple things like riding a bike. Thanks Variety for all you do!

My son was diagnosed with TS in 2003. The TS Alliance was key to provide us resources in order to learn more about our disorder. They have top notch physicians and researchers who are continually identifying new therapies for our children. Recently, our son was diagnosed with hydrocephalus and the local hospital wanted to do immediate surgery. With the assistance of the physicians associated with the TS Alliance, we were able to begin medication which has eleviated the fluid on his brain without surgery. All of this was due to such a top notch group of people and the financial support that is attributed to the TS Alliance. In addition, we appreciate the family support in our local market. Keep up the good work!
