Aidan is back to work! We are working with him 4-5 days/week to get him back to where he was — before he broke his leg, grew several inches and was confined during the Covid lockdown. He has been rising to every challenge. He’s stronger now. His body is opening up and getting more flexible. He’s been climbing stairs, doing pull ups, working out in the pool. He is doing A_M_A_Z_I_N_G_!!!! And he’s happy to be moving. It’s all good.

We’ve had lots of snow for the past two weeks and its wonderful for sledding! Here’s Aidan enjoying a ride in his sled.

So nice to be able to get together and celebrate this year! He’s an adult now.

Aidan is a teenager now with a lot of energy! Regular work outs with weights are a must!

This is what Aidan was working on with Yuji Oka at the Spiral Movement Centre. Opening up his hips.

Like all of us, Aidan suffered last year from being stuck at home & isolated for several months. Plus he grew! (And continues to grow!) It seems like he constantly needed new pants!

When we were finally able to work with him again, he was so stiff, weak and out of shape. It was really disheartening compared to where he was before Covid. But not for Aidan! He still had his motivation, drive & love for movement. And now after many months of hard work we are seeing the payoff — good results on many levels.

Next week, he will be doing a 2 week intensive with Yuji Oka at the Spiral Movement Center. He’s ready for it and I can’t wait to see what happens!!

I recently received a beautiful letter from an adult with Cerebral Palsy who was inspired by Aidan’s documentary. She wrote:

“I’m 35 years old and I have spastic quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy… I just thought I’d message to say how lovely Aidans documentary is… I can really identify with Aidans story. I too have been undertaking a very intensive course of physiotherapy. I have only just recently learned to stand! I often think about you guys and when life gets tough I remember Aidan and how brave and how courageous he is!

“I discovered Aidans documentary at the beginning of my physiotherapy journey. I was in a lot of pain when I first started…. I kept watching it over and over again, every time I watched it there was a glimmer of hope.”

Aidan’s documentary continues to inspire people all around the world. Over 700,000 views now.

Unfortunately, Aidan lost a lot of mobility during Covid lockdowns combined with a huge growth spurt. Getting back into shape now. Fortunately he still has his positive attitude, motivation and drive to stand and walk. Go Aidan!
