STAND WITH ROB & help purchase the Indego walking device!
2019 marks 10 years since Rob’s spinal cord injury….let’s get him standing and walking!
Family and friends of Rob Drescher are raising funds in order to purchase a personal walking system.
Rob was born with a rare vascular anomalies condition, Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome. This disease is caused by a genetic disorder, a birth defect, where veins and arteries are not formed correctly. Rob has numerous lesions or blebs throughout his body that bleed and have caused numerous hospitalizations. The largest mass is located in his chest cavity and attached to all of his main organs so cannot be removed. When Rob was an adolescent the mass eroded his spinal cord and caused his injury.
Ten years later Rob continues to fight for his health and live a lifestyle of a typical guy in his 20’s. Robs goal is to purchase a personal robotic walking system, an exoskeleton, which unfortunately is not covered by medical insurance. “An exoskeleton device will get me upright, move my lower body while increasing circulation, reducing bone atrophy, reducing the risk of pressure sores and allow me to look others in the eye. I’m 6ft tall!!” said Drescher. Take a look at the video below to see Rob walking at Sheltering Arms Rehab Hospital.
You can support Rob by registering for an upcoming event. If you are unable to attend an event, please sponsor one of our walkers or make a direct donation. All donations are tax deductible and will go directly toward the cost of Robs therapy, training and walking system.
Rob has chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility to the full extent allowed by law for donors. Donors can be sure that funds donated will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses for Rob. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Donate Now button.
For more information, please contact Team Rob at standwithrob@gmail.com or Help Hope Live at 800.642.8399.
Thank you for your support!
