Timothy and Elijah are identical twins, born alongside their sister as part of a remarkable triplet addition to a family of four. Both boys have been diagnosed with hypotonic cerebral palsy, epileptic encephalopathy, and global developmental delay.
Variety Tasmania provided a grant to assist in the purchase of Bingo Evo strollers, which allow proper head and neck support for the twins as they grow.
The strollers can be locked together, meaning only one parent is required to maneuver the boys when out in the community, leaving the other parent free to shepherd the family’s other three children.
“We are ever so grateful to Variety Tasmania for their generous contribution towards these amazing Bingo Evolution strollers. Our sons Timothy and Elijah have Severe Hypotonic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy and without Variety’s help we would not have been able to afford this custom stroller- let alone two of them. We are so relieved our miracle boys have seating that finally gives them the optimal head and lateral support they require, which could not be achieved from their regular prams. Timothy and Elijah both love their new chairs, and new-found view of the world as they are able to be seated at the same level and in a more upright position”. Emily Page August 2018.
