Walk With Me is just five days away, so it seems a perfect time to introduce our fifth Honorary Ambassador, JJ. There is still time to register for the Walk by clicking here. We hope you will join us on Saturday as we celebrate JJ and all of our Ambassadors.
Meet JJ…
JJ is very social six-year-old who has PVL, Cerebral Palsy, Dysphagia and cortical vision impairments. JJ has tremendous inner strength and we have to believe so much of it comes from his parents, big sister, twin brother and huge extended family. When he was ready for center-based services, he also became part of the Easter Seals family. Since he began at Easter Seals, JJ has come out of his shell even more, his motivation is increased, his words have increased and he is holding his head up better. In addition to his increased words, he will soon be using an eye gazing device to really help him find his voice. When he’s not amazing his teachers, he’s quite happy rough housing with his siblings, playing catch and playing games on his iPad. He also loves watching sports and cheering loudly with his daddy. When asked to describe JJ, his parents summed it up by saying that JJ is their family’s rock star and inspiration. His love for life makes their days truly blessed.
