Why I Run, Walk & Dash | Team Mikey

We are 5 Days away from the 2017 GiGi’s Playhouse Syracuse 5k, 1 Mile Inspiration Walk & Kids Dash for Down Syndrome!  We have our friend Amy Cavallaro on the #gigisblog today sharing why she is participating once again!

  • What is your Team name? – Team Mikey 
  • Are you honoring anyone with your team, if yes, why? – This year I am honoring Mikey Edward Cota. Some one special I knew through GiGi’s Playhouse.
  • How do you do your Best of All each Day? – I am kind, considerate of others feelings, I include people and encourage but best of all I show love to everyone around me.
  • What is you favorite Program to participate in at GiGi’s Playhouse? Why? – My favorite program is Gratitude Committee which I host and enjoy all the activities that we do such as thank you cards and mugs. We are always coming up with new things to do.    
  • What is your favorite way to volunteer at GiGi’s Playhouse? Why?
    My favorite program to volunteer at is Open Play because I love being around kids and seeing how happy they are. My other favorite way to volunteer is to be there and help with whatever is needed. I just love being there!

You still have time to join and support Amy’s mission to help raise funds for GiGi’s NO COST, purposeful, & fun programing! On this years the shirts you will find art work by Amy honoring our friend Mikey, whom we are missing like crazy but together we will honor him!
