Kimberley
and Mila will be participating in the
BougeBouge Festival & Ile Perrot half marathon together. The monies raised will help pay for
Mila's Ora Levity Device and for specialized physical therapy so that
can regain her ability to walk again after being diagnosed with
Transverse Myelitis.
The Ora Levity Smart Device provides partial weight support during
physical rehabilitation for children with walking disorders like Mila’s.
This weight support technology can be adjusted based on the Mila's
progress to maximize the effectiveness of her gait training. In
addition, the device does not have armrests which encourages Mila to
place more weight on her legs, strengthening her muscles. By having her
hands free, Mila can better interact with her environment. Using the
Levity has been very beneficial for Mila as she has been using the
device for a few months and there have been marked improvements in her
walking pattern and distance.
