Meet Elijah! He is the cutest and kindest 6-year-old boy you’ll ever meet. Just months after birth, Elijah was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. This affects his day-to-day life – including his muscle tone, ability to walk, and his overall quality of life. Despite these challenges, Elijah is incredibly determined and works so hard in PT to improve his mobility and fine motor skills.
Elijah has an older therapy bike that he’s outgrown, but that never stopped him from loving every minute he spent riding it around the neighborhood with his brother and parents. When he’s not outside, he enjoys watching Mark Rober’s science videos on YouTube, building with Legos, and coming up with fun projects to take on with his brother. Although, the thing he might love most is baseball—especially cheering on his favorite team, the Tampa Bay Rays!
Since Elijah has outgrown his previous bike, he is in need of a new therapy bike. By sponsoring Elijah, you can give him the opportunity to continue building his mobility through physical therapy while also helping him regain some independence and a greater sense of inclusion. Please consider helping make Elijah’s hopes a reality!
