Tournament aids special needs children<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Windmill Golf and Country Club, in Ile-Perrot welcomed the inaugural Golf for a Cause fundraiser, Monday September 22, 2014 to benefit the Montreal Special Needs Foundation (MSNF) and Nourishment for Hope at the West Montreal Rehabilitation Centre. <\/p>\n

Montreal resident Maddie Pettigrosso founded MSNF in 2010, after the birth of her fourth daughter, Victoria, in the year 2000.<\/p>\n

Victoria was a healthy seven pound girl, who developed multiple seizures at 13 months, with a 50:50 chance of living. By the age of two, she regressed to a three-month-old and doctors advised Pettigrosso that she may never walk or talk.<\/p>\n

\u2018I wanted to help raise funds for therapy aimed at special needs children, through occupational, physiotherapy, and speech,\u2019 Pettigrosso told The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n

Pettigrosso struck a friendship with Jennifer Mundee, specialized educator, at the West Montreal Readaption Centre, who has been Victoria\u2019s teacher the past decade. <\/p>\n

MSNF\u2019s mission is to ensure that every Special Needs Child and their family receive the resources and financial support towards their child\u2019s therapy, in order for the child to reach their full potential. Nourishment for Hope, under the guidance of Mundee, and co-worker, Laurie Philipps, provide holiday baskets to underprivileged families who have a child with an intellectual disability or autism.<\/p>\n

\u2018Maddie joined my practice over a year ago. We have been in touch the past seven years because of her daughter Victoria. Maddie felt that since I had all the services in house that there was no reason to reinvent the wheel\u2014so to speak\u2014so she decided to come in to Abby\u2019s Office.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n
\nIt has been a wonderful partnership. <\/p>\n

\u2018She wants the very best for the families and wants to make it possible for each child to have the therapeutic services they need\u2019 said Abby Kleinberg-Bassel, special needs consultant at Abby\u2019s office. <\/p>\n

Abby\u2019s office helps with children who have been diagnosed with a global developmental delay, autism or a pervasive developmental delay. <\/p>\n

The Golf for a Cause received much needed awareness to the children who benefited from the day. <\/p>\n

\u2018It was a wonderful venue, a great turnout with enthusiastic participants,\u2019 said a beaming Mundee. <\/p>\n
