Meet KJ!
Meet Charismatic KJ! This energetic and social young man was diagnosed with spastic quadriplegia. He has an abnormal gait and has to wear leg braces and can only walk short distances with assistance. KJ suffered from a brain aneurism in 2021. KJ mostly relies on the use of his manual wheelchair to get from place to place, but since he has grown it has put a strain on his upper body and has become increasingly harder to self-propel himself long distances.
KJ is a goofy, loveable and friendly person. He is loyal to everyone he meets and wants to be everyone’s best friend! KJ is always stylish with his collection of sunglasses, watches, and hats! You can find him on the dance floor singing and bopping along to viral party songs such as The Cupid Shuffle and Who Let the Dogs Out! KJ is always the life of the party! KJ is also a big sports fan and loves supporting all the local Tampa Bay teams. In his spare time, he enjoys playing UNO and Bingo. KJ’s magnetic personality will instantly warm your heart!
KJ received an AirHawk lightweight power wheelchair that will help him be more independent. It will also be more convenient for transportation and schooling. With the use of a joystick, it will also ease some of the strain he is experiencing while propelling his manual chair. Special thanks to the White Family Foundation and to generous sponsors Kelly Brown and Allie Maguire for sponsoring him at our Annual Wheely Good Time event!
