Local family enjoys water wheelchair at SaskParks
Max Lavallee and his family like to stay active, and now they can enjoy their summer vacation even more since Saskatchewan Provincial Parks purchased water wheelchairs.
The local 12-year-old lives with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, which is a motor neuron disease that affects the voluntary spinal muscles that are used for activities such as crawling, walking, head and neck control, and swallowing.
He, his mother Andrea, and their entire family say they are elated at this accessible addition to their summer experiences.
Max said he is feels great about being able to enjoy the beach more fully.
