Participant Best of All: Julian

Julian, and his parents Kelly and Eric, are active participants at GiGi’s Playhouse Fox Valley. From Little Aces, bowling, yoga and balloon tennis at Friends, Fun & Fitness Julian is always a willing participant and continues to wow us with what he can do. “Julian absolutely LOVES going to GiGi’s Playhouse,” states his mom, Kelly. “He is so comfortable at the Playhouse and it is always a challenge to get him to leave.”

Julian is willing to try anything and when he does not succeed, he keeps trying, and always has a smile and encouragement for his fellow participants. “He has met so many great friends and we are so lucky to have met so many amazing parents,” adds Kelly. Julian, you are truly an inspiration, and living proof to not limit individuals with Down syndrome. He rides a bike, hula hoops, drove a car and airplane, he even went skiing in Colorado over Spring Break with his dad! The sky is the limit for you Julian!!! “We are beyond thankful for GiGi’s and all the wonderful programs and services they offer Julian and our family.”

We are happy to support you and are so glad to have you be a part of our Fox Valley Family!
