Nominee Information
Justification:
Fitz is a recent St jude survivor as of August 8, 2016! He receives speech, occupational, and physical therapy from his school or St jude. He has been diagnosed with Mixed Expressive Language disorder, Social Pragmatic Disorder and also scores on the Autism Spectrum. He struggles to clearly communicate his feelings and thoughts. He has been asking to ride a horse for a long time and I think/hope that working with horses would help him relax and feel more comfortable with himself while also teaching discipline and respect.
