Keep Joe Rolling: Power Soccer
Donation protected
"Everyone loves Joe!" was the exclamation from a Bloomington Jefferson high school staff member when she was asked by a church friend of ours if she knew Joe. That's the kind of spirit Joe inspires in everyone who knows him.
After 10+ years with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Joe has developed true passion for three things:
- Gaming with his friends, especially Fortnite and NBA basketball.
- Minnesota Timberwolves basketball, and
- Playing elite-level Power Soccer with his Loons team, sponsored by Allina Health and the MN United Football Club.
A dream for Joe is to have his own Power Soccer chair; as he and the Loons team pursue another title. According to Joe this would:
- Help Joe be more independent and comfortable while playing and while transferring from his wheelchair to his soccer chair
- Allow him to practice near home with his family, in his school's own gym, just like other friends from his school
- Provide a custom fit which could reduce the risk of injury, while also freeing up his current Courage Kenny chair for someone else!
Joe said, "I really appreciate" people's participation in this. THANK YOU!!
