  Second Skin

Pictured left shows LION Alie May with Billie Davis for whom Montrose & District Lions Club raised the funds for a "Second Skin" in 2009.

Billie is a delightful four-year old with Angelman’s Syndrome and Global Developmental Impairment.

Montrose & District Lions Club raised the money for a "Second Skin Body Splint" which
will assist in postural stability and symmetry.

Billie and his family are extremely impressed with the results they have had so far from him wearing the 'Second Skin".
