Aston, PA (PRWEB) September 28, 2005 -- On Friday, September 23, NBC kicked off its new series "Three Wishes" by helping an 11-year old girl, Abby Castleberry, recover from a life threatening car accident. In addition to assisting with her medical expenses, NBC installed an indoor Endless Pool, donated by Endless Pools, Inc., to aid in her quest to return to competitive gymnastics, swimming and soccer.
Once a healthy, athletic child, a car accident changed Abbys life. During the accident, in which a truck broadsided her fathers car with Abby in the passengers seat, Abbys head came in contact with the trucks bumper, leaving her with severe head trauma, numerous facials fractures, a broken pelvis, and a broken femur. In the months since the accident, Abby has undergone a number of surgeries, but many more loom in the near future. As she awaits the next round of surgeries, she must wear a helmet to protect her fractured skull.
When NBC asked what her wishes were, she said to help her parents pay for her medical expenses and to return to competitive athletics.
To help Abby rebuild her strength, NBC built her an exercise room complete with an Endless Pool. Measuring just 8'x15', the Endless Pool provides all the benefits of a full-size pool in a fraction of the space. It is compact enough to fit virtually anywhere, inside or out, making swimming year-round a possibility even in homes with limited space.
The Endless Pool has a smooth, adjustable, non-turbulent current, ideal for swimming, aquatic exercise and rehabilitation. The pools unique features include specials steps, railings and jets, making it a great therapy tool.
Endless Pools, Inc., headquartered in Aston, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia, was founded in 1988 by James Murdock to manufacture and sell counter-current swimming pools for residential and commercial use. Over the last fifteen years, more than 8,000 Endless Pools have been sold and installed in the United States and 50 countries.
