It's 67 days until Camp Courage!
Today we announce our very first ABF Hero Emmanuel Serrano. Emmanuel is one of our Leaders in Training. in 2015 he attended International Burn Camp on behalf of Camp Courage. He truly is an emerging leader in our community and we are proud to have him. Here is a quote from Emmanuel that shows the true spirit of Camp Courage. "I had the youngest group of boys in my cabin... There were a lot of things that I had to mentally prepare for everyday and things I had to learn throughout the week because in the end, it’s not my camp experience that matters, rather theirs."
Join us in celebrating Emmanuel. Arizona Children's Burn Camp

Going places for sure!

Meet Aksel. He’s five years old, has Down syndrome and loves to climb.

“[Rock climbing] is amazing physio therapy for a person with low muscle tone (by genetic makeup). And there are so many other wonderful neurodevelopmental benefits of climbing—other than it’s pure fun,” say Aksel’s parents Elizabeth and Kalle Anttonen. "You should see the smile on his face when you mention the word rock climbing—he asks to go everyday.”

Down syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder characterized by a third copy of the 21st chromosome. Today, the 21st day of the 3rd month of the year, we celebrate .

This is how Aksel rocks his extra chromosome. Follow him on Instagram at .aksel.
