"Nate The Great" Standing Tall

JT Townsend arrived in the afternoon at the Mandarin home of 12 year old Nate Cunningham excited to meet his new friend in person. Just one day before, JT’s Foundation delivered a Rifton Dynamic Stander to Nate’s home. This stand-up wheeler will allow Nate to improve his core strength and reach a new level of movement when he masters turning the wheels with his hands.

Nate was born three months premature and lives with Cerebral Palsy.

JT was pleased to provide this amazing high-tech wheeler that will help Nate to strengthen muscles he has never used and add a level of independence to his day-to-day activities.
