Markham Woods children receive a much needed holiday gift

Thanks to generous donations during a holiday fundraising event, special-needs children at Markham Woods Elementary School now have a Power Pumper. This Power Pumper will allow several children with developmental and disabling conditions to get therapeutic exercise. The school budget was unable to carry the cost of a Power Pumper or like device.

The Children’s Mobility Foundation President Mike Jones and Development Director Heather Bohannon delivered the rider-propelled device to the Markham Woods gymnasium shortly before the Holiday break.

The donation was made possible by contributions received during a Dec. 2 shopping event hosted jointly by Portland-area Toys”R”Us stores and the Children’s Mobility Foundation.
