The Ontario March of Dimes recently helped to provide a
manual wheelchair to Brian Cr'oakwrlght of Wtngharn.
rine is very active as a volunteer in his community.
Each year, the careers of
many young adults are
disrupted through
sabiiities res :ting from
diseases or traffic accidents.
These people want to con-
tribute to their communities,
raise families and work but
find now that they have to
adopt new strategies.
Brian Cronkwright of
Wingham is one disabled
person who has taken control
of his life. And, despite his
disability, he is very active
in his coanrnunity.
Back in 1975, Brian
discovered he had multiple
neurofibromatosis (NF ).
One in 3,000 people have this
disease which causes the
growth of tumors on nerves
and muscles.
Now 32 years old, Brian
has had numerous
operations to remove tumors
on his stomach, back and
leg. He lives at home with his
parents and has depended on
a wheelchair for mobility
since 1980, only walking with
the use of braces oc-
casionally when he can't use
his wheelchair.
Brian, who is a member of
the Legion, is also actively
involved with the Optimist
Club of Wingham and
District. He volunteers his
time ular9y at bingo
nights and bartends at
special events for the club.
Once a week, Brian travels
to ; {e Vanastra Recreation
Centre for swimming, social
events like card games and
craft shops. The sale of
crafts made at these weekly
meetings raises funds for the
centre.
He keeps In touch
reg, arty with others who
have NF through the
Neurofibromatosis
Association off Alberta. "I
don't know if there are
others in this area with NF,"
said Brian recently. "But if
there are, I would like to
contact them too".
The Ontario March of
Dimes recently helped to
provide a manual
wheelchair to Brian to assist
hirn in his busy lifestyle. "I
am very pleased with the
service", commented Brian.
if any repairs to the new
wheelchair are required in
the future, he knows that he
can count on the agency to
provide that service too.
Supplying items such as
wheelchairs and
sophisticated electronic
equipment is only one of the

many services available to
physically disaed adults
through ; .e Ontario March
of Dimes. The provision of
these items help many, like
Brian, to become as in-
deperldent as possible.
The organization also
operates three summer
camps for men and women
with all types of disabilities,
assists groups of disabled
people with issues of ilia
dance to them in their
communities and overcomes
barriers through awareness
campaigns promoting in-
tegration and ability.
These programs are made
possible through the
generosity of public
donations to the Ability Fund
campaign, held annually in
January and February.

Most parents have little or
no training in how to be a
good parent, in spite of the
fact that ti s is the most
important and hardest job to
do. Parenthood is a 24 hour
profession, one in which
more and more fathers are
taking an active part.
Parents are realizing that
children cannot be treated as
they were in the past, but
many do not know how to
deal with the ever increasing
changes that our children
face. Therefore, it is im-
portant that parents know

the way children grow and
develop, remembering that
each child is unique and
ffferent. It is helpful to
know that the stages of
development that are
common to children in order
to deal effectively with the
behaviours which occur at
each successive stage. Man}
mistakes can be avoided if a
parent is prepared in ad-
vance. Don't be afraid to find
out what is working for other
parents and ask for practical
tins.
Parenting becomes easier
when you are more secure in,
the knowledge of what to do,
although you may not always
feel like doing it. Even the
best parents ltiave difficulties
and make mistakes. In the
days of constant change,
growing up is by no means
easy, and children need all
the good parenting they can
get.
Parenting classes are held
each Thursday in Wingham.
