There's Something About Billy - Abilities Centre Membership Assistance Program

Bill Thompson (William Thompson 1961 - 2021) was a hysterically funny, gentle, and kind soul. People were drawn to him wherever he went. Terry, his wife, always heard people positively comment - There's something about Billy. He always had a kind word and was full of positivity even after his MS diagnosis in his late 30s. Billy never let his diagnosis get him down or define how he lived his life.

He joined Abilities Centre on the first day it opened. For Billy, Abilities Centre provided health benefits and motivation to work out with the modified equipment and qualified staff. The social aspect was a huge bonus, and he always looked forward to meeting up with fellow members, and often came home with the funniest stories. Terry saw the positive difference Abilities Centre made in Billy's life and the lives of the other members and for that, she will forever be grateful.

Billy strongly believed Abilities Centre attributed to his physical well-being and positive outlook. He wanted others to experience the feeling of camaraderie and inclusion he had. He strongly believed that no one should be turned away because they can't afford full membership. Your support of the Membership Program honors Billy's legacy.
