Meet Kourageous Karter—a bright, determined 8-year-old boy who defied the odds after being diagnosed with HIE (Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy) at just 2 months old. Sent home on hospice, Karter’s story could have ended there—but instead, it was only the beginning.
Defying all odds, Karter held on with incredible strength—fighting day after day. Now, 8 years later, he’s thriving—enjoying life with his three siblings and family, attending school, and loving his daily standing sessions in the Zing MPS Stander both at home and in the classroom.
