Bridging The Gap For Children With Special Needs - Ep. 20


Listen Later

Sandy Getman is the driving force behind the mission of Wheel to Walk. Having a granddaughter with Muscular Dystrophy, Sandy saw firsthand the difficulties one goes through to get the essential equipment needed to help with day-to-day activities.


When Sandy's granddaughter was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy at the age of two, she knew there was nothing she could do about it, but had to DO something. She held her first fundraiser (a Holiday Luncheon, a tradition that continues today) and raised $400 dollars and was thrilled to be able to donate that money to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.


Since then, Wheel to Walk has flourished and places their focus on purchasing medical & adaptive equipment and therapy services for children with special needs so they can thrive and be the best of themselves.


Sandy is a former business owner, was a costumer for the Oregon Symphony’s Norman Leyden Singers, married 61 years to her husband, Don, has 3 grown children and 5 grandchildren. Sandy devotes most of her time at Wheel to Walk fulfilling application requests.


Wheel to Walk Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps children with disabilities, 20 years and younger, obtain medical & adaptive equipment or therapy services not provided by insurance.
