GiGi’s 5k & Buddy Walk

“#TeamKianna”

Kianna is a 9 yr.old female with Down syndrome. We found out she had Down syndrome about 2 months before she turned 2.  She is in the 3rd grade at Oak Park in a cluster program. She enjoys reading and loves learning new things. While in the 1st grade she read a book to a preschool class at her school. She now sits in with a 1st grade reading class and is moving up very fast. She always tries and does help with younger kids that have disabilities. A true leader! Kianna is known very well in our community and loved by many. Her loving spirit and kind heart has brought many to support and love her dearly. Kianna is a Gold Medal winner of the Tennis Ball Throw in the 2013 Special Olympics! We are looking forward to seeing more smiling faces from all over to greet Kianna and all the educational progress she will bring.

Your gift will help support thousands of families who rely on GiGi’s Playhouse therapeutic and educational programs. All programs are FREE to families.  Learn More about how to Register a Team, Register as an Individual or Support a Racer!
