***** Exciting update!  Katie was married November 2011! *****

Katie Terry is a single mother of two children, Carter is 9, and Kindra is 7. They currently live in American Fork, Utah.
Nine years ago, Katie was in an auto accident that left her paralyzed from the hips down...and they discovered she was pregnant with Kindra.  It took some time learning how to "re-live" again, one day at a time, but she did it.  It was then that she realized in the ability within her disability and that she could be an example of dedication, commitment, endurance, and hard work. And doing it with a fun and positive attitude.

We wanted to get involved with Katie for a couple reasons. First she is a giver and gets involved in every project she can. She works hard and never complains. She lives in an older style home and one that is not conducive to being in a wheel chair. Her bathroom is tiny and every time she gets in the shower it a twenty minute ordeal to transfer from wheel chair to shower chair.

The goal in her home is to make it more wheel chair accessible, by improving the shower area and expanding areas within her home to make it better fit her.

FCorey and Leisha Roberts have 3 children, two boys and a girl. The boys both have Duchesne Muscular Dystrophy. It is the most severe strain of the brutal disease. It strikes young people deteriorating the muscle and most do not live to their twenties. The two boys are both in wheelchairs and have to be physically picked up to transfer them from their wheel chair to shower chair. The task has become more difficult as the boys have got older and bigger. Their dad Corey has had back problems and their mom is tiny. It is a two person job to move the kids anywhere. Heart 2 Home will install and track system in the home to help get the boys from their bed to the bathroom. The system will allow mobility and give the parents back a break from lifting.

Drew and Noah were the MDA Ambassadors for the state of Utah and have shared their stories for the cause to raise awareness.  This is our turn to show our support for them for their hard work and dedication!
