Little Miss Riley has been asked to be one of the three Honorary Ambassador for the Easter Seals "Walk With Me" event coming up next April 9th! Walk With Me is a 5K or
shorter Family Fun Walk that helps raise awareness and resources for
programs of Easter Seals, which help children and adults living with all
types of disabilities. We are really excited for this fun opportunity for all of us, because everyone is invited to join us! Sa (my sister) has decided that we all need Team Riley shirts! That is something I've wanted to do for a long time so I will get that together! So fun! I'm thinking I will have to get Miss Keagan a Team Captain shirt too!
Here is the blurb about Riley on the Easter Seals Website:
"Riley Kikuchi and her twin sister, Keagan, are seven years old and in
first grade. Riley loves school, her ballet class, dressing up, being
silly and doing anything with her family, especially her cousins! Riley
has a total of 23 medical diagnoses including cerebral palsy,
polymicrogyria, dilated cardiomyopathy, asthma, epilepsy and many more.
But she doesn’t let any of those hold her back from having a full and
beautiful life! Riley is also non-verbal but she speaks volumes through
her illuminating smile and contagious laugh. The highlight of Riley’s
summer was attending Camp Buckaroo for the first time. She and her twin
sister will make sure they don’t ever miss it again! Her family has also
greatly appreciated Respite Services through Easter Seals. In seven
short years Riley has accomplished so much and touched so many lives.
She was told she would never walk, but she left her hot pink wheelchair
behind when she was 5! With the help of Easter Seals Riley is going to
be able to accomplish even more!"
