GiGi's Cheers On!

This just in from Spirit Mom Julie Snyder! 
 
“We’ve got spirit yes we do, we’ve got spirit, JUST LIKE YOU!”

GiGi’s LXC Cheer Team made their debut Sunday, September 13 in the Saufen Unds Spiel Parade in Johnsburg, Illinois.  Riding on a parade float can be an overwhelming experience for any child so of course we were cautiously optimistic about the outcome of this event for our kids with special needs.  That caution was soon replaced with happy faces and cheering voices!  

The kids had a wonderful time throwing candy to the crowd and cheering with their fellow LXC cheerleaders. The experience for our kids was priceless and it was heard time and again from members of the Johnsburg community how nice it was to see our kids among the LXC Cheer Squad.  It turned out to be a wonderful day filled with fun for everyone!
Thank you to Coach Kelley and her husband of Layton Athletics for donating her time, believing in our kids and for providing a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness about Down syndrome and children with special needs.
