Hill Air Force Base family gets all-terrain wheelchairs for teens with cerebral palsy thanks to special needs grant
Master Sgt. Jared Graham and Laura Graham have two 16-year-old sons who are both blind and have cerebral palsy.
“These disabilities do not define them,” Master Sgt. Graham said. “They have surpassed doctors’ expectations and live life to the fullest. They never complain about their daily challenges, they overcome them.” “We have already helped eight families receive funding. From shoes and insoles, to all-terrain vehicles, to communication devices, this grant helps improve Team Hill’s Exceptional Family Members lives in so many ways," Seligman said.The all-terrain wheelchairs — called the Emma X3 — were even made locally by Utah company Extreme Motus. They are foldable and can fit easily in the back of a truck or minivan, the story said.
