A MESSAGE FROM Benjamin's Fundraiser for FastFeet NYC
Hi everyone! This is Ben, and I want to thank you so much for your support.
I heard about FastFeet through my own research and out of all the charities that I found, FastFeet stuck with me the most. As a Physical Therapy student at MGH Institute of Health Professions, I have seen plenty of patients (children, young adults, and adults) with developmental differences that impact the way they aspire to live life. I've also seen the amazing ways that Physical Therapy positively impacts their lives for the better in not just the physical aspects of life, but mental and emotional aspects as well.
Too often do children and young adults with developmental differences feel isolated from their communities and unable to do things like sports, exercise, or simply have a close and reliable community of people and friends. To me, I relate FastFeet to a kind of physical therapy. It provides not only inclusive fitness opportunities, adaptive equipment, and dedicated coaching for all athletes throughout the formative years of their lives, but also a close knit community of people who are just as excited and motivated about the end goal of inclusion as they are.
Your generous donation helps push this goal forward and creates a community where all are welcome and able to achieve athletic and fitness to the best of their abilities. Thank you so much for your consideration!
- Ben
