Kiddo Kynlee: "I did it!"

Kiddo Kynlee has made some big gains since she first began receiving treatment at Children's TherAplay. Find out what has her cheering, "I did it! I did it!"

Color a valentine for the kiddos

Last Valentine’s Day, we asked for your help in doing a little something special to cheer the kiddos on in their treatment. You responded, to the tune of 400 handmade valentines.

Let’s do it again this year! 

Something wonderful

Please join us in a heartfelt thank-you to FlyteVu and the Bennett family. Their donation funded a remarkable six months of equine-assisted physical and occupational therapies for five kiddos.

And how it all happened is just as astonishing as the size of their check. Join us on the blog to find out how this all came about. (You’re going to love it!)

Sometimes the best way to get a feel for a place is to ask the parents. Here's what Becca's parents had to say about treatment at Children's TherAplay. Pull out your kleenex and enjoy. 

Video: Celebrating a kiddo’s dream come true

Kiddo Garrett loves triple-crown-winning team Justify so much that, during the on-the-horse portion of his weekly physical and occupational therapy treatments, he pretends to be legendary jockey Mike Smith riding Justify, the fastest horse in the world. 

Watch this video from RTV6 to see how he got to meet his heroes.
