Miracle Recreation Donates Inclusive Playground to White House, TN in Honor of Outstanding Brothers Conner and Cayden Long


WHITE HOUSE, Tenn. --(Business Wire)--

Miracle Recreation - one of the nation's leading companies in designing and building innovative playgrounds - honored two amazing brothers on April 12, 2014, donating a playground to Conner Long, 10 and Cayden Long, 9, in their hometown of White House, TN.

Cayden, diagnosed with hypertonic cerebral palsy, is unable to walk or talk - but that hasn't stopped him from participating in triathlons with Conner.

Conner always yearned to be more active with Cayden. With the guidance of an athletic trainer and his family's support, Conner entered a children's triathlon in 2011 to bike, swim and run - all with Cayden in tow. It marked the beginning of "Team Long Brothers," leading to superstar recognition as 2012 Sports Illustrated for Kids "Sports Kids of Year."

To recognize Conner and Cayden, Miracle Recreation donated a state-of-the-art playground to White House withinclusive features that accommodate children of all abilities.



"Conner, Cayden and their friends are now able to play together," said Mike Sutton, VP of Sales for Miracle Recreation. "Miracle is dedicated to creating outstanding play environments for all children."

Conner also helped design the playground. Miracle collaborated with GNF Marketing Group to create a panel of experts: Conner serves as the Chair of Miracle Recreation's "Not So Bored of Directors," along with former NASA Astronaut Terence "Tom" Henricks, surfer Clay Marzo, occupational therapist Dr. Zoe Mailloux, and Olympic/Elite Development Team gymnast Katie Currier.


"Miracle Recreation would like to thank our supply partners for their generosity," Sutton said. "Sincere thanks to USA Shade and Fabric Structures for donating the shade protected area. Also thanks to Miracle of KY and TN for the design and installation of the play environment, to Cardinal Greatwide Logistics for donating freight, and to GNF Marketing for facilitating the partnership with Team Long Brothers."
