Congratulations Christina!

💬 "I would like to thank The Research Foundation for their generous support in helping me keep pursuing my doctoral degree. This assistance has eased the financial burden of the program, allowing me to dedicate more time and energy to my studies. I was overjoyed to share the news with my mother, as this scholarship relieves some of the financial pressure on both of us."

We are on our 3rd semester of running emPOWER: a strength and power training group for kids with cerebral palsy, and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our kids bring tremendous effort and enthusiasm to the group setting, and they’re clearly having fun working with the student PTs. Last weekend, Dr. Jamie Hall presented the child and parent perspectives of this program at the American Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine Annual Meeting. We’re grateful for the opportunity to highlight this program and the amazing kids and families who make it a success!
