Griffin was a typical developing, energetic kiddo until age 5, when his life changed with the onset of seizures. Because his seizure-triggers remain unknown and his episodes occur frequently, he can no longer enjoy the jumping and running around he used to love. Too much stimulation or noise increases his risk, so his family must watch over him closely at all times. Now at age eight, Griffin’s wish was to visit a place with a calming, family-friendly environment with opportunities to golf and swim. They found Big Cedar Lodge near the Ozarks in MO and it turned out to be the most incredible adventure for this family of five! Mom’s heartfelt thank you says it all, “Griffin had an unforgettable time golfing, fishing, boating, swimming, bowling, visiting the arcade, relaxing in the hot tub, enjoying nature, spending time outdoors, ordering room service, and even spotting a few skunks outside our cabin door! Every part of the trip was special, and we are so thankful for the memories your organization helped create for our family.” Big thanks to the Uhl Family for adopting this special wish and to the Big Cedar Lodge for their hefty donation towards the accommodations. We hope Griffin’s seizures stay controlled and that this family vacation will be a memory they will cherish forever!
