"High-tech hope: Inventions bring the gift of movement" perfectly captures what the WREX robotic exoskeleton arms have brought Max and our family -- not just the gratifying experience of seeing Max empowered to explore the world in ways which others take for granted...but hope for a future of growth and life, of "independence and freedom."

Our thanks to Mike James, Traci Watson, Jack Gruber, and the whole USA Today team for telling this story; to Tony and JAECO Orthopedics for their amazing support; to Tariq Rahman and Whitney Sample for creating this amazing invention; to Andrea Santman, Dov Judd, and Zachary Lasko from Motion Education for traveling to Wilmington to get trained on the WREX; and to the many friends and family members who helped us give Max this incredible gift.
