“We knew Mac was having difficulties in school, but we kept hoping he would get over it, but he didn’t,” said his mother. When he was in first grade, Healthy Learners took him to a pediatrician. He was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder. With treatment, Mac began reading, and made the honor roll. Now he’s an Eagle Scout, and plans to attend The Citadel. To support Mac, donate today at healthylearners.com.
