Thursday, February 28th was the one year anniversary of Bennett Charles McClurken-Gibney’s death. Bennett had SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). He spent most of his life overcoming obstacles and raising awareness for how inaccessible the world is.

One of his greatest joys was to go to the ARC park in Richmond, a playground that allows kids of all abilities to play and just be a kid. In his memory, Bennett’s Village (Bennettsvillage.org) was created. An initiative with the goal of creating an all-abilities playground in Charlottesville, much like the ARC Park in Richmond.

“Help us build an all abilities playground here in Charlottesville.  Let this be his legacy, so his light will continue to touch others.”

Bennett’s Mom, Kara McClurken joins Wendy to talk about the plans for Bennett’s Village and how you can help.
