Matteo doing all the horn sections on his own at this great number from @TOSantaParade - his and his brother’s first parade and they loved it. Great spirit. #inclusion

With brother Felix by his side, Matteo is constantly motivated to reach for the stars. They play together so much sometimes they are inseperable. Here Matteo tries to keep up on the climbing wall and is not too far behind. . . #brothers #seetheability

Such amazing and beautiful community spirit at @orioleparkjps #terryfoxrun. For Matteo, every single second of physical therapy since he was 1 mo. old has led to this moment. Look at blast off. Look at him fly. Matteo you are my hero. @shelleylaskin @JackNigro

For first time ever Matteo is tackling this climbing structure. See how he combats his low muscle tone by muscling his way up. Motivation is everything.

Matteo visiting Campbell Park field after Hip Hop dance class today. First time back here in 4yrs. He loved playing soccer at that park then, and still does now - holding his ball with great pride.

Up until today, Matteo would have never dared to try to this climbing structure. But after 6 weeks of intensive physical activity in Turkey look what he does his first day back in Canada- and after a gruelling 24 hr of travel and very little sleep no less. #unstoppable

A month ago, Matteo was slowly limbering up this same hill in the forest in Kozak, Turkey. Now after a month of climbing and endless trampoline jumping, Matteo has built more strength and endurance - and can now race brother Felix up this steep rough terrain.

A month ago Matteo slowly muscled his way up this slide at the seaside in Dikili, Turkey. Now with speedy brother Felix as a constant motivator, Matteo powers up the ladder with wide steps and fierce determination #seetheability

After 5 weeks of being afraid of the sea, Matteo asked me to put his feet in the water. He summoned the courage himself. Here he is with brother Felix in Dikili, Turkey @shelleylaskin @CdnDownSyndrome @SurreyPlaceON #courage
