Although Rett Syndrome comes with plenty of challenges, this inspiring session proved that skateboarding isn’t off the table. Love that. With the right adaptive support, Gemma, Magnolia, and others like them can experience the freedom and joy that skateboarding provides.
You know the feeling. I know the feeling. They know the feeling. The stoke is real.
