My Story

I was diagnosed prior to birth and born (doctors said I would not survive) with Hydrocephalus, through complications with that I was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, Eplilepsy, had a couple orthopedic surgeries, and now I am constantly battling Crohn’s Disease. I have surpassed hundreds of milestones with life, and I thank God, my family, and the amazing hands of multiple physicians for taking such great care of me. I am wheelchair bound most of my life, but I get around on my legs when I can. I am slow, and I tire really easily, but I never give up and I always keep a positive attitude. My favorite time is on the jetski with my parents and swimming in the lake, and I love riding around on the tractor. I am nonverbal, but it will only take a few minutes being around me and I guarantee we can have a conversation you will remember every word to.

I can’t wait to see you at the 5K and rolling right beside you (try and keep up) with my mom and dad pushing me like they do every day to be stronger! Bring your pup, cat, squirrel or anything on a leash if you want! I’ll have my sidekick Bandit with me!

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and any donation will be greatly appreciated. Oh, even if you can’t donate, please come and enjoy the day with us!
