U CAN DO GRANTS BOY A SPECIAL WISH FOR THE HOLIDAY
December 18, 2007 - FOX 11 in Los Angeles has partnered with the
Make-A-Wish Foundation and U Can Do, Inc. to grant special
wishes to children with serious illnesses this holiday season. FOX reporter
Christina Gonzalez was at The Grove with Ryan, a little boy with a rare
disease whose wish was to become a pinball wizard. Click
this link to watch a video of Ryan and his Stern SPIDER-MAN™
pinball machine.
Gene Gulich and Ron Kochel, owners of U Can Do, Inc., came up with
the idea for a pinball that can be played for people like Ryan. The pinball
machine works as follows: "The familiar flipper controls are overridden
with large circular switches-something like those domed lights that go
on and off with a slap. Players can use one hand or two. For people who
don't have the use of their hands, the switches can be tapped with the
feet. For those who don't have use of anything below the neck, they can
be tapped with a twitch of the head."
To get your own Stern Spiderman™ Pinball Machine, contact
your nearest Stern Distributor. You can also contact Jolly
Backer at 708-786-7039 or by email. You
