Help bring SPECIAL STRONG to Lancaster PA!

Hello! My name is Ruth Polillo and I am humbly asking for your help! I am raising money to serve people with disabilities through a company called Special Strong.

What is that, you ask?

Special Strong is a leader in providing adaptive fitness to individuals with disabilities. Check them out yourself at www.specialstrong.com!

Why do I want to start a Special Strong franchise of my own?

I have been a physical therapist for almost 20 years, so I have seen firsthand how important fitness is for people of all abilities. But I also have the privilege of being a mother to two amazing sons who have special needs. One son is autistic and the other has Down syndrome.

When you have children with disabilities, you often think things like... will they have a good life? What will happen when I'm gone? Special Strong's mission is to help people live a more independent and abundant life - and I can certainly get on board with that!

I see this opportunity to open a Special Strong franchise as a way I can use my professional expertise and personal experience to serve the community and build a better life now and in the future for my sons. They will not only see the example I set by helping people who have similar challenges as them, but my hope is that they will be able to be a part of the process as well! And ultimately, they will reap the long-term rewards!

Funds raised will go toward the opening costs of the franchise, but everything raised over and beyond that will go directly toward training individuals who may not be able to access these services due to financial constraints. Any amount is appreciated. Thank you in advance for your consideration and generosity!
