January 29, 2007 Timothy Marberry is
24 years old
and has Cerebral Palsy, which is a movement
disorder involving all extremities. It has always been a
challenge to find activities that Tim could do that would
keep him physically fit. It was during one of his
physical therapy sessions that we saw Tim on a
MOTOmed.
He was very excited to show us how it worked. We,
too, were excited because he had finally found an
exercise that he enjoyed and one which gave him a
good physical work out. We knew that Tim’s insurance
would never pay for this type on equipment, so he
didn’t get his hopes up.
It was during the Christmas holiday season that we
found out that his Physical Therapist had submitted
his name to the Season of Sharing to purchase a new
MOTOmed.
Tim was featured in the Oregonian newspaper and
the donations poured in from the readers. He was one
of several individuals that were featured in the Season
of Sharing section of the paper.
Tim’s MOTOmed arrived in January and he loves it!

The RECK company would like to invite you to visit the
MOTOmed booth at the International Seating
Symposium in Orlando, FL (March 8 and 9, 2007). We
would be pleased to introduce the MOTOmed to
therapists and anyone
interested in MOTOmed Movement Therapy.
Physical and occupational therapists are welcome to
get a short MOTOmed demonstration and pick up a
Starbucks Thank You card at the booth. We look
forward to seeing you there.
