Rose Parade Float: Special Feature
Alec and Kaleb share a special feature of our Rose Parade
Speaker 1:
Shriners Children’s has always taught us to never limit ourselves, and for them to be able to include and prioritize a ramp to be able for us to enter and exit, it means a lot.
Speaker 2:
This is probably as close as far as an ADA-compliant float that we've done. It's the only ADA-compliant float in the parade this year. We've actually built in a ramp to go all the way to the ground so that the boys can back their wheelchairs up, and they're going to get a great ride in this canoe here.
Speaker 1:
Not only do we feel good and comfortable outside of the hospital, but when we're on the float, we're going to feel safe, as well.
Speaker 2:
Those two young men be able to be in their wheelchairs and ride the float, really, it's an honor for us to be able to make that happen. There's a lot of people in the world that dream of riding in a Rose Parade float, so the fact that we can make this happen for these boys is very rewarding.
Speaker 3:
Shriners doing what Shriners do best, making it. We can participate in this event, and us being here means that we can propagate what Shriners do, and it's just great to be here to be able to participate in it.
Speaker 2:
Thank you again, Shriners Hospitals, for participating and helping us celebrate New Year in the right way.
