Participate and make a difference
Every effort will serve to improve the quality of life for people like Rashon
Your support will help people like Rashon to continue his progress and become more independent despite of his disability. Being partially paralyzed, it was clear to him and his mother that they had to do something extra in the hope of a better future. Now, after regularly going to the AP Center which is a special exercise facility of Fundashon Alton Paas, he can use his legs better, has better balance and even has a more positive attitude. That is why contributing to this upcoming fundraising – The Annual Fitness challenge is so important.
Here is what is his experience:
Exercise became like my best friend. Going to the AP Center, I feel it like a gym with my personal trainer. Now I can even stand up better and longer compared to before.
