Erik & Krysten Jenkins, Youth Ambassadors
Erik and Krysten are 14-year old twins with Cerebral Palsy. Both teenagers have undergone numerous surgeries and years of therapy to get where they are today. Erik uses a walker and works hard to improve his endurance and strength everyday. After his most recent surgery in July of 2005, Erik’s family found ACRC. Over the past year, Erik has regained strength and balance. He is currently working on the ability to walk with the assistance of a cane or crutches so that he can gain more independence. Erik has a great sense of humor and work ethic. He is currently on the 8th grade honor roll and participates in both Jazz and Concert bands.
After major spinal surgery in the summer of 2005, Krysten started at ACRC. At that time, she was extremely weak and unable to sit for long periods of time. One year later, Krysten is now able to walk more than 250 feet using a walker. Her posture while sitting, standing and walking has also improved. Krysten has positive attitude and loads of determination. She is currently in 7th grade and loves to communicate with classmates and friends by using her endless charm and beautiful smile.
