We walk because every step we take helps build a brighter future for Domenique and all the incredible students at Academy360. Thanks to the school’s innovative programs and technology, Dom has made tremendous progress—he has reported on the Morning Report, using media as a tool for communication and self-expression. He’s gaining independence by learning essential daily living skills, exploring new activities, and finding joy in sports. From playing on the basketball team to swimming in the ESY program, he’s discovering his strengths and building confidence. But The Walk of a Lifetime is about more than just Dom—it’s a moment that brings our large family together every year, like a reunion, as we rally behind him and all neurodiverse kids, celebrating their growth and potential. We walk for Dom’s future, for awareness, for inclusion, and for the belief that every child deserves the chance to thrive.
