Catherine Curry-Williams and Scott Williams lost their son, Shane, a few weeks after he was born. Shane had Spinal Muscular Atrohpy and had he lived, Shane would have required a wheelchair to get around. Had he lived, Shane might not have been able to play on the same playgrounds alongside his peers.
Through Shane's Inspiration, thousands of children in LA play together at the highest level of their ability. Shane's Inspiration is a universally accessible playground at Griffith Park, 2 acres of fully accessible, sensory-rich, and physically challenging equipment. Shane's Inspiration is one of the largest universally accessible playgrounds in the United States.
And since 1998 when Shane's Inspiration first opened, millions of dollars have been raised to build over 40 universally accessible playgrounds across southern California - and as far away as Sri Lanka.
Shane's Inspiration is far more than a playground. Shane's Inspiration gives all children, children with disabilities and children without, a chance to play together, to learn from one another, to increase awareness, to increase acceptance, and to have fun.
