Hello and thank you for taking the time to read our campaign. My name is Tiffani, and this sweet little guy is my 6 year old son, Chase. Chase was born with a condition called arthrogryposis multiple congentia/ amyoplasia. Just a quick break down on what that means... it means contractures in the joints and absent muscle development. Chases condition varies in severity with each person but for Chase he is affected in upper and lower extremities making it difficult for Chase to do things like walking, feeding, bathing, ect.
Recently, my husband and I have been trying to figure out a way to keep Chase moving. Kids are in constant motion, but because of Chases condition it has been difficult for him to get the exercise he needs to stay healthy. So last summer we put Chase in swim lessons and he loved it! By the end of his 2 weeks of lessons he was swimming more independently and he was beaming with confidence! Swim is the best type of exercise for Chase because he is able to really use the muscle he has to move through the water.
That brings us to the reason for Chases campaign. This year our goal is to put an in ground lap pool in our backyard so that Chase can swim more regularly and really get the exercise he needs to stay healthy and build as much strength as possible.
Brad and I have been doing everything we can to make this possible for Chase and we appreciate any support we can get!
Chase knows about our plans to get him a pool and he is a very blessed and grateful little guy! Thanks again for reading our campaign and for any support you give!
