The Luke Billings Foundation

In Feb. 2009 the Williams family attended Europeds with assistance from the foundation and this is what Joshua's mom had to say about the experience:

"Unbelievable." They make therapy fun for the child. Some days Joshua did not want to leave because he was having so much fun "playing."  The equipment is wonderful and the therapy intense: including warm-up, stretching, massage, strengthening and functional activities. 

For the first time he was able to jump in "the cage" and his most notable accomplishment was being able to stand up from a seated position UNASSISTED and continue to stand while passing objects between people (without help) for over a minute!!  His walking speed dramatically increased with his forearm crutches and his willingness to try things at home has improved because he is less afraid of falling.  "I cried, and the staff cried too!"  The goals they set when we arrived, Joshua basically met them all!
