Dallas and his best buddy, his dog Ace out for a ride.

Meet Dallas

This little blue-eyed cutie is Dallas or, as his family lovingly refers to him, “Dally”. He lives in Cocoa, Florida, USA. He loves exploring new places, people watching, swinging in his swing, and spending time with his incredible parents and family. He loves to take on life with his partner-in-crime, his dog, Ace. Like most kids he loves to play with his toys and is always up for some yummy food. He also enjoys Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Paw Patrol, and Puppy Pals.

Dallas was born full-term and had some complications upon birth. His family have been fighting for answers since the early days. Dallas is a warrior taking on severe low tone, developmental delay, brain abnormalities, scoliosis, obstructive sleep apnea, visual impairment, and GERD. He is working hard in his therapies to practice sitting. Dallas takes on his challenges like a true victor - always with that adorable smile on his face.

A life lesson I’ve learned from Dallas is that anything is possible when you have a positive outlook. I see my toddler with the strongest will and determination to achieve tasks, I see him go to endless doctors, procedures, testing, labs, and through it all he still has a smile on his face. Dallas is our reason why we fight so hard and we will continue to do anything in our power to give him the best life possible.
