This year Hayden was selected to be a part of CC4C & the Lake Travis Football team to be the honorary captain and participate in many events.
We really weren't sure what this would entail, but so far he has had the best time! 2nd grade, 7 years old, and he feels like a rockstar. It also helps that he has an actual rock star as his champion athlete, CB Hudson, from the band Blue October.
Getting ready for the homecoming parade with the varsity team as they make him front and center as the team works with CC4C, they select a child each year to champion. The float was made from hours of work from volunteers and it is very appreciated as it touched our heart so dearly.
Hayden's motto is "Always Be Brave".
These boys have been super sweet to share the spotlight with Hayden. They made sure his wheelchair didn't roll off the float:).

A great end of the night with the grandparents visiting from NM and a great big Texas football parade!
