The Max Cure Foundation And Flywheel Sports Host A Cycling Event To Support Kids With Cancer

On Saturday, March 16, the Max Cure Foundation and Flywheel Sports will host their first annual “Be Brave N’ Fly” event to raise money to support researching and curing children with cancer. By participating in indoor cycling classes, supporters can pedal together to benefit children’s health.

One hundred percent of the proceeds raised in “Be Brave N’ Fly” will go directly to the Max Cure Foundation, and will be put towards kids’ cancer research, as well as providing low-income families with access to the resources that their children with cancer need.

The Max Cure Foundation was established in 2008 by David Plotkin–the father of a little boy, Max, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Over the years Max has received treatment and has steadily grown healthier. Having experienced the pain, fear, and joy of treatment in his own family, Plotkin created The Max Cure Foundation, to help other families and raise awareness.

On March 16, you can join local Flywheel gyms on the Upper East Side, as well as in East Hampton, Englewood, NJ, and Millburn, NJ, to cycle towards a better tomorrow for these kids. Classes start at 2pm, and last for one hour. Ticket price is $75.

Enabling Devices

<p><strong>Enabling Devices is a family-run business that designs, manufactures and sells adapted toys and accessible devices that make life more joyful and fulfilling for children and adults living with disabilities.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>It started with a train set, a mercury switch, and a young boy whose therapist thought he couldn’t play with toys. In 1975 our founder, Dr. Steven Kanor, walked into a room at United Cerebral Palsy/Long Island and saw a boy sitting in a wheelchair, his head resting on his shoulder. When he asked where the toys were, the OT said, “He doesn’t have the motor skills to play with toys, and he can’t lift his head.” But Dr. Kanor was not interested in what the boy couldn’t do. He was interested in the boy's potential. The next morning, he was back. He’d brought a train set, which he’d connected to a mercury switch. The switch, the first capability switch he’d designed, was attached to the boy’s ear. When the boy raised his head, the switch made contact and the train ran around the tracks. After several weeks of playing with this toy, the boy was holding his head up straight, even when the train was not running. Dr. Kanor was elated.</p> <p>Since that day, he never stopped innovating, never stopped trying to make our products better, never stopped designing new devices. Today, our design team is just as passionate, just as creative, and just as committed to innovation as the man who founded this company. Enabling Devices is the place to find toys, devices and tools that help build more joyful, fulfilling lives. We have an extensive selection of adapted toys, capability switches, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices, adapted electronics, mounts, iPad products, sensory items and products for the visually impaired.</p> <p>Over the years, the important constants remain. We’re still the same small, family-run company Steven Kanor founded in 1978, with the same values of personal connection and deep product knowledge. We’re still committed to providing caring, individualized service to each customer. And we’re still grateful for the privilege of sharing in your journey.</p>
