Summary
From Unlikely Mavericks, To Movers And Shakers
In Chasing The Impossible, Rachelle Rutherford, the CEO of Kids On The Move, unravels the gripping story behind the rise of this multi-million dollar non-profit dedicated to serving children with developmental delays and disabilities. What began as a heartfelt endeavor by two determined mothers seeking support for their children with Down syndrome has blossomed into a beacon of hope for families.
Rutherford delves deep, outlining the uphill battle many families face in receiving a diagnosis for their child, let alone ongoing care, which many children will need far into adulthood. With raw candor, she exposes the stark reality of communities ill-equipped to provide essential support structures for these families, laying bare the toll of the stress and isolation they experience.
Yet, amidst these challenges, Rutherford reveals Kids On The Move's unwavering commitment to bridging the chasm of care, blending calculated implementation of leadership and growth strategies with a culture of contribution and compassion. From innovative therapy programs to comprehensive support networks, she unveils the organization's groundbreaking initiatives that have reshaped the landscape of disability care.
But the journey is far from over. In Chasing The Impossible, Rutherford unveils plans on the horizon, yet again pushing the envelope and revolutionizing the definition of excellence in comprehensive disability care. In addition to issuing a stirring call to arms, urging communities to rally behind these families, the book serves not only as a testament to resilience but as a clarion call for collective action.
With heartrending accounts and bold visions for the future, Chasing The Impossible is more than a book—it's a rallying cry for change, a blueprint for a future where every child has the opportunity to be seen, known, and loved.
