Closing Thoughts
“Thank you! Involvement in MATE has literally been a life saver for our son. He was struck with a chronic disease 4 years ago. His [ROV] club meetings the past 3 years were, at times, the only activity he could manage to participate in. He would conserve his energy all week to make the meetings.”
