The cart, which will provide supervised PT employment to survivors of brain injury, was generously funded by the Eastern Shore of Virginia Community Foundation!!

DSCF1290 — There is a new community-wide scavenger hunt in our area called “ESVA Rocks”. The idea is you decorate a rock, hide it somewhere easily accessible and available to the public, and then wait to see if anyone finds your rock using the Social Media Group dedicated to the challenge.
