Jared, a 4-year-old preschooler, is already an accomplished jokester and trickster. In addition to staging clever hijinks around the house, he loves to swim and play with his toy vehicles in the park. After recently discovering Xbox, Jared is also working on his video-gaming skills.

Jared is a ball of energy – always singing and dancing, happy and energetic. That stamina helps sustain Jared on his travels from Las Vegas to Shriners Hospitals for Children in Philadelphia, where a recent surgery helped repair damage to his right arm that stems from Erb’s Palsy.

Jared’s family hopes he’ll eventually have full use of his right arm.
