    How Your Support Makes a Difference

    Every dollar you raise helps UHCCF provide medical grants to great kids like Aidan.

    Thanks to a UHCCF medical grant, Minnesota native, Aidan was able to receive a specialized racing wheelchair that allowed him to pursue his love of racing. With it, Aidan has won a State Championship medal, numerous Junior National medals, and was part of the 2019 UHCCF Grandma’s Marathon Team!
