Brenden’s Ride to let the sun shine on other kids’ summers

Brenden Parker, 18, and his dad Baron.
By Boaz Joseph Brenden Parker has accomplished a lot recently. Last year, he graduated from Clayton Heights Secondary at the age of 17. He’s now working on a big fundraising effort for a B.C. charity. Not bad for a teen who can’t walk, dress or feed himself. Parker, who has advanced Cerebral Palsy (CP) and must rely on an electric wheelchair and the close support of his family, is giving back to Easter Seals Camp Squamish, a place that’s made his summers.

For the last seven years, Parker has gone to Easter Seals Camp Squamish for one week each summer to have fun and meet other kids – and the occasional councillor – with CP. Thirty-three-acre Camp Squamish, located at the foot of Mount Garibaldi and the mouth of the Squamish River, provides five six-day sessions throughout the summer for hundreds of kids with various physical and mental disabilities. Up until 2012, admission was free – with funds raised by Easter Seals and its parent charity, the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities. In 2013, the cost to participants for one

week was raised to $100 (a fraction of the actual cost), and this year, $500. The charities would cover the rest. Parker’s parents paid his “document fee” this year – because of his age, this was his final year at the camp – but Parker decided that the high cost would mean the camp could be out of reach for some families in the future. His brainchild was Brenden’s Ride for Easter Seals, which takes place Sept. 13. The objective: To help Camp Squamish to subsidize campers, and to increase awareness of CP.
