A biomedical engineer from The Children's Hospital tells the story of his favorite patient and good friend Evan - the nicest kid you will ever meet. Evan has cerebral palsy (CP). CP is a term used to describe a group of chronic disorders impairing control of movement. CP makes walking and other everyday tasks a challenge for Evan. Find out how The Children's Hospital is using the same motion capture technology (a.k.a. MoCap) used in Hollywood blockbusters like Avatar, the same BOTOX that's all the rage at Cherry Creek cougar parties, and your favorite slopes at Winter Park to help kids like Evan to live better lives. Find out how Evan is giving back by teaming up with Colorado ski legend Chris Anthony of Warren Miller Films.

Then remember when you quit altogether, and it was all bad? Now it's time for the next phase.

A biomedical engineer from The Children's Hospital tells the story of his favorite patient and good friend Evan - the nicest kid you will ever meet. Evan has cerebral palsy (CP). CP is a term used to describe a group of chronic disorders impairing control of movement. CP makes walking and other everyday tasks a challenge for Evan. Find out how The Children's Hospital is using the same motion capture technology (a.k.a. MoCap) used in Hollywood blockbusters like Avatar, the same BOTOX that's all the rage at Cherry Creek cougar parties, and your favorite slopes at Winter Park to help kids like Evan to live better lives. Find out how Evan is giving back by teaming up with Colorado ski legend Chris Anthony of Warren Miller Films. And, find out how YOU can help. </p><p>danausc said:<br /><div class="typeset"><p>Avatar + BOTOX with a &quot;for the children&quot; twist!?

Voboril suggested:<br />The adult/kid construct is an artificial dichotomy impressed upon us by a majority that lacks the imagination to bridge the divide. Yes, you are growing hair in odd places and/or your stick figure has turned into an hourglass, but that is no reason to leave the spontaneity, wonder, and joy of your youth behind. Adulthood does not have to mean staid dinner parties, a sensible diet, an early bedtime, and a job that crushes your soul. You can drive, you can eat ice cream for breakfast, and you've finally figured out what causes all those noises coming from your parents' bedroom. The world is your oyster, but you elect to eat grilled chicken because you have &quot;matured.&quot; Jeez, your 10-year-old self would kick your butt if he knew what you had become. Come learn how to embrace the balance that is the (wo)manchild from a lawyer/ski bum who appreciates the opera and a loud fart equally. </p> T.J.
