Thank you for sharing your expertise and bringing this critical aspect of rehabilitation and patient survivorship to life and for all you do for our Board.

It's been a while since I started my role at YourSteps Health as the Chief Operating Officer, and I wanted to share this update with everyone. When Lynn Tanner, PT, PhD announced to the Pine Tree Apple Classic Fund Board a year ago that she was starting a MedTech company, I immediately offered to help bring her vision to life. In just one year, we have made remarkable progress. Our innovative software platform is nearly complete, the regulatory pathway and Quality Management System (QMS) are established, and our launch plan, which includes pilot programs with world-class pediatric hospitals, is steadily advancing. People often ask why I came out of retirement for this role. My answer is simple: it doesn’t feel like work. This endeavor extends the positive impact of the clinical research funded by the Pine Tree Apple Classic Fund to millions of children, whether they are battling cancer, cystic fibrosis, or recovering from numerous common childhood conditions like concussions. I've met start-up founders, angel investors, and venture capitalists, and learned so much from so many who are clearly committed to making the world a better place. I can't think of a better way to spend my time!

We are so incredibly fortunate to have one of the world leaders in pediatric cancer rehabilitation research directly involved with our organization in Lynn Tanner, PT, PhD of Children’s Minnesota. Lynn recently attended a conference in Torino, Italy where her research (funded by Pine Tree Apple Classic Fund) was presented to the 35 attendees from 19 countries and 6 continents and reinforcing how Pine Tree Apple Classic Fund continues to have local impact and worldwide reach!

When Dr. Lynn Tanner, one of the physical rehabilitation researchers that Pine Tree Apple Classic Fund supports, peers into her clinic waiting room at Children’s Minnesota, she sees few children in wagons or wheelchairs. As the mother of a pediatric cancer survivor treated at Children’s, I’ve spent a good amount of time in that same waiting room with my son and can verify that I’ve rarely seen kids in wagons or wheelchairs at clinic. I didn’t realize how unique this is until I learned...read more at https://www.ptacf.org/blog
