GEAR UP for Owen!
Owen was diagnosed at birth with quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. He was also diagnosed with Cortical Visual Impairment just before his first birthday, and with Intractable Epilepsy at the age of three. Despite these challenges Owen (6 years old) is generally happy and full of life and energy. He is curious about the world around him and makes every attempt to participate fully in any task presented to him. He loves to be active and spend time with his parents, twin brother, Liam, and little brother, Quinn.
The “Gear Up for Owen” walk raised money to help the Betrus family fund an adaptive ramp for their minivan.
They have created a GoFundMe page for Owen at www.gofundme.com/gearup4owen Please visit the site to learn more about how you can help support our efforts.
