StreetSmart Segway has donated two units to Camp Simcha this summer, enabling the medics to zip around the camp and respond quickly when called.
 
The following is a press release from Segway:

There is a place nestled in the beautiful hills of rural New York, where children and teens come to experience the wonders of summer camp in spite of being seriously ill with cancer or other debilitating chronic conditions… all tuition free. Even transportation to and from camp is provided by the sponsoring parent organization, Chai LifeLine. The medical accommodations and staff are amazing and include highly specialized doctors, nurses, therapists, and paramedics, all of whom donate their valuable time to this special place in behalf of the campers.

We had the opportunity to donate some time of our own when Camp Simcha added two StreetSmart LifeLine x2 units as another way for paramedics to move around the sprawling grounds. Certified Rider Training enabled the medics to feel confident and comfortable utilizing the units on the sometimes uneven terrain and steep hills in camp. We rode over every possible location, both on and off road, where the medics might have need to respond.

Thank you Camp Simcha, for the incredible service you provide for these children and their families in arming them with happy memories and a circle of support and friendship that will help them through the inevitable rough patches of living with such illnesses. We are honored to have been a small part of helping you this year.

Chai Lifeline’s programs are available free of charge to all families, which makes the tzibbur’s involvement so much more important. For more information or to make a contribution, please click HERE to visit the Chai Lifeline website.
