Go Baby Go helps kids with mobility impairments get around in modified Jeeps

CANFIELD, Ohio - Over 50 volunteers came together to modify 25 power wheel Jeeps for children with mobility impairments at the 7th annual Go Baby Go event in Canfield on Saturday.
Volunteers included electricians, adaptive technology professionals from Miller's Rehab, occupational and physical therapists, and MCCTC students who helped customize every power wheel for each child's needs. The event is put on by the charity Magic of Michael.
"People look at them and think they can't do much. Not true," said Beverly Lankitus, a physical therapist for ESCEO. "You give them a way to communicate and a way to play and it's mind blowing and it also opens doors for them in the future."

And one program alumni, Riley Osborne and her father Josh Osborne stopped by the event.
"She has a hard time working her feet so they gave her a hand control so that she can control the car with her hand," said Josh Osborne. "That's been awesome to give her some independence."
The Magic of Michael Foundation has sponsored 100 cars through the Go Baby Go event. It costs approximately $400 to provide an adapted ride-on vehicle.
