Region: Oceanfront South (1-10), Virginia Beach
Description
Grommet Island Park is no regular beach park. In fact it is America’s first 100% handicap accessible park to make certain that every”BODY” can enjoy the beach. The inspiration for this state-of-the art park came from the personal struggles the Thompson family had regarding their son Josh Thompson. Josh a young surfer from Virginia Beach who in late 2006 at the age of 33 was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. When his family went to the beach, Josh always stayed behind. Josh’s father, Bruce Thompson figured this nightmare must have been plaguing many disabled folks all over the world.
So now it is a reality in Virginia Beach. This way every"BODY" can enjoy the beach. It's also one of the best beach parks for kids and is a hit with families from all over.
This playground on the beach is great for kids! Let them play while you enjoy the rest!
Now that we are even closer to finding out who will play in Super Bowl LIII it's time to buy your tickets to the best party at the beach!
There is still time to spread good cheer to Josh and his family this holiday season! Mail your cards to our office, or you can drop them off at Stravitz Sculpture & Fine Art Gallery.Spread good cheer this holiday season!
Spread good cheer this holiday season!
This will be great! ALS is a very lonely disease and Josh will love hearing from friends old & new (feel free to introduce yourself if you are a new friend!). Thank you so much! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays 💖Kathy T (Josh’s Mom)
As Josh continues to fight against ALS, please join us in spreading some holiday cheer. We are requesting holiday cards be sent to our offices to be shared with The Thompson family.
Your messages will inspire hope this holiday season.
