This October marks 7 years since Easterseals became part of our family’s journey. The Superhero Hustle is our absolute favorite event—a time to celebrate, give back, and walk together for an amazing cause.

? Brayden (9)

Brayden began his journey at Easterseals 7 years ago. Once incoherent, he is now the most AMAZING social butterfly and the greatest friend. He’s always ready to welcome new friends throughout the center, and his progress in speech has been nothing short of inspiring.

? Annmarie (8)

Annmarie is the proud sibling of two brothers with ASD. She’s their biggest supporter, cheerleader, and role model. This year she graduated from both social work and physical therapy. She is AMAZING in her drive and love for helping everyone around her, and she makes us so proud.

? Camden (almost 7)

Camden is our AMAZING medical mystery, but one thing is always certain—he never gives up. He works so hard at everything he sets his mind to. With his big smile, friendly waves, and high-fives, he lights up the center every week. Camden loves therapy and his support team—Speech, OT, PT, Feeding Intensive, and even Aquatic Therapy in the past. He often asks for his therapists on days he doesn’t even have sessions!

We are raising money for Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley, an organization that empowers children with developmental delays and disabilities. The Superhero Hustle makes it possible for kids to achieve incredible goals—whether it’s crossing the finish line with their first independent steps, using a walker, or reaching a new distance. These moments inspire families like ours to keep moving forward.

✨ Please consider walking or running with us this year—or making a donation to support children and families like ours. Every step, every dollar, makes a difference.

Thank you for being part of our journey. ?
