The Goodlife Kids Foundation is helping special needs kids keep active.
The Foundation is donating $7,500 to the Chatham-Kent Children’s Treatment Centre.
Recreation Therapist Allison Munro says the money is earmarked for the centre’s adapted swim program.
“The treatment centre offers a variety of programs including physio therapy, occupational and speech therapy and the one near and dear to my heart, recreation therapy,” says Munro. “Encompassed in the recreational therapy is our adapted swim lessons and sensory swim programs.”
Munro says the swim programs don’t qualify for government funding, so donations like this are a huge help.
