Endless Pools - Helping Grant one Girl's Wish

On the premiere episode of NBC’s Three Wishes, Endless Pools helped grant a seriously injured child’s wish to once again compete in sports by installing an Endless Pool in her new fitness room for physical therapy.

Once an active young athlete, a life threatening car accident left Abby Castleberry disfigured and needing to wear a helmet to protect part of her exposed skull from further injury. Her wishes included an operation to help her skull heal, help with her medical bills, and once again being able to compete in sports like swimming, softball, and gymnastics.

While Abby met with doctors about the operation, the wish team worked on a secret surprise for her at home: a new backyard fitness center/playhouse, so that Abby could get back to being a strong, athletic girl. When Abby arrived home, she was thrilled with her new fitness center and Endless Pool.

In the pool, Abby can be her old self again. “One of the most fun things about seeing Abby get into the pool again was to see her be free of her helmet,” Abby’s father commented upon seeing Abby in the pool for the first time. Almost in tears, Abby’s mother remarked, “It was just nice to see her in the pool. It definitely reminds me of Abby as she was before the accident.”
