We are the family of the amazing Monte, a wonderful son who has endured a great deal of misery in his 9 years so far. He has had 29 brain surgeries and 3 spine surgeries...and many more. He suffers gracefully through daily muscle spasms and contractures. While he doesn't always get to live the life of a typical 9 year old, he has many similar hobbies and dreams. Monte loves to swim, swing, eat ice cream, and listen and dance to music. He has been able to practice riding a special bicycle...and he loved it! He was able to peddle so fast he felt as if he was flying! Perfect for our little superman.
We have the fun opportunity of running around the track in the mornings with Monte's classmates in a program called "Miles for Smiles."
This year we were invited to partner with Monte's fabulous school, Branson Elementary West for a 5K event to promote "Miles for Smiles" and healthy children and families.
Here's the REALLY cool part: All of the proceeds of the event will go toward the purchase of Monte's new bike. We're thrilled to invite everyone to come on May 20th and participate in this fun family night. More details are provided on the pdf flyer file. Post any questions you have, we'll respond!
