Who is your hero?
Maybe it’s Superman – he can fly, makes the world a safer place, has great hair.
Maybe it’s Deadpool – he’s funny, adventurous, and has slept with both Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively.
We admire people who are able to do the things we could never do (and sorry guys, that includes Scarlett).
That’s why our recipient, Yusef, looks up to The Hulk and Thor. While most 13 year olds like himself do, Yusef has even more reason to idolize these muscular guys; he has Hypotonia (low muscle tone) and an undefined congenital myopathy. This causes arm, leg, and neck weakness, repeated pneumonia, and difficulty with choking on saliva. He has always had delays in his motor skills and speech, and the worst part is that it can’t get better, only worse.
