Gabriella

Gabriella loves to dance, play soccer, and swim. She made the travel soccer team this past year, dances ballet, tap and jazz, and swims competitively. She swam a 100 yard medley for the first time this winter! Pretty impressive for any kid but especially one with a chronic autoimmune disease! She is a rock star student and a fabulous big sister to her younger brother and sister.

Emilia

Emilia is a fun loving, spirited, energetic 9 year old with Crohn’s disease. She loves to dance and spend time with her sister Nina (7) and her friends. She is a red/black belt in karate and will be testing for her junior black belt in the spring. She loves running and is involved with the Girls on the Run program at Skippack Elementary. She also plays tennis and basketball. Emilia is one busy girl!
