Ari - Standing strong despite challenges

Awesome person alert!
We had the chance to cross paths with Ari and her mom the other day and when I learned how much Ari loved our crutches I asked her to provide something for me to post!
Here it is! She is an amazing girl making the world a better place with her happiness and enthusiasm for life!
"Hi there! I’m Ari, 12, and I have caudal regression syndrome, which makes walking tiring on my shoulders. Since I started using these in Motion forearm crutches, it has been so much easier.
These crutches are very comfortable. The handles fit my hands well, and I do not feel the same strain in my shoulders anymore. The spring assist at the bottom helps a lot. When my foot hits the ground, it gives a little bounce back that makes walking feel smoother. It feels like the crutches are helping me instead of just holding me up.
Even when I walk around all day at school, I do not feel worn out. My shoulders and wrists are not achy, and I have more energy.
These crutches have made a big difference for me. Walking does not wear me out the way it used to, and I can get through my day more easily."
