Ian was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition at 18 months of age, and his future mobility and speech abilities were unclear. Nowadays, it's hard to keep Ian still! He loves bike riding, swimming, Challenger Baseball and all his activities with the Special Olympics: playing basketball, soccer and bocce.
Please join in welcoming Ian to the match!
