ThermoSpas, Inc. of Wallingford, CT--a spa manufacturer and the country's largest hot tub retailer--announced today that it is expanding its Seasons of Giving hot tub donation program in 2008. Instead of donating four ThermoSpas hot tubs to children who will benefit from warm water therapy, the company will give 12 ThermoSpas hot tubs--one a month--to kids in need.
ThermoSpas launched its hot tub donation program, Seasons of Giving, in 2002. To date, 16 recipients--with illnesses ranging from Cerebral Palsy and Muscular Dystrophy to Fibromyalgia,
MPS and Pereventricular Heterotopia--have benefited from donated ThermoSpas. Each of these children's parents reports that daily soaking in the hot tub has significantly improved their
child's quality of life thanks to warm water therapy (http://www.thermospas.com/benefits/health.php) were more than physical: "The hot tub has helped Sean in every way, shape and form.
The warm water makes it easier for him to do his stretches and relieves the pain in his joints. Most of all, the ThermoSpa provides him with the freedom to move, swim and play. The
freedom is the greatest gift to a child in a wheelchair."
