1. Serena's Song

I recently received an email from a family that offers hot air balloon rides for disabled individuals. They are currently looking for funding since they are non-profit and are trying to spread the word their balloon. This is a wonderful thing they are doing and I really would like to see it go very far. I hope I can go up some day. So I hope those of you visiting my site will take a second to visit their site and try to help support there cause.

Hello my name is Ron Koval I am the President of Enhanced Mobility Technologies, We have developed the BioRehab System that has shown great success with patients with movement impairments, including Cerebral Palsy.

Please let me know if this makes sense. Thanks for your time Ron Koval		 4. CP and Sexuality
