Meet Our ECHOage Birthday Hero

Ryan and Lauryn

Ryan and Lauryn Supported

Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation

Why I chose to support Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation

Ryan and Lauryn chose Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation at their ECHOage party as it is near and dear to our family. Lauryn was born with a right lower arm and hand amputation. The Holland Bloorview prosthetics team of Kristen, Brian and Lisa have been tremendous to work with and have designed some really cool helper arms over the years.

Ryan and Lauryn 's Gifts

A bike for Lauryn, videogame for ryan

Why I chose my gifts

Lauryn requires a new bike this year to support the new helper arm/hand with bike adapter that is on it's way. Ryan is our computer genius and loves gaming, so a video game was an appropriate choice for him. He is also so patient with Lauryn when she wants to play as well!
