Meet Jerdiah!
Meet joyful Jerdiah! This loveable 8-year-old was diagnosed as an infant with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which causes muscle weakness. Although Jerdiah is still able to walk independently, he lacks balance and coordination and requires the use of a walker for distance.
Jerdiah is an outgoing and silly kid! He loves playing Minecraft on his tablet and other video games on his Nintendo Switch. He enjoys the classic cat and mouse chase cartoon, Tom & Jerry. Visits to Legoland (especially when he gets to stay in the hotel!) are his favorite! He likes watching soccer and collecting action figures. Jerdiah’s kind smile can light up any room he enters!
Jerdiah needs a therapy bike. This bike will provide him with increased balance and coordination, improve his leg strength and provide a therapeutic form of exercise that promotes reciprocal movement, spatial awareness and social inclusion. Please consider a sponsorship for Jerdiah today!
