WILL IS 10 YEARS OLD. Will has Autism. Will also has untreatable brain cancer.
Wyatt is 9 years old. Wyatt misses his brother’s voice and playing Super Mario with him. Will and Wyatt are the inspiration for this year’s driven2smile.
driven2smile is one of UCR’s largest annual charitable endeavours. At driven2smile, members of the Driver Education Team who enjoy driving their p-cars at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park track donate their time and vehicles to provide rides to individuals of ALL AGES with unique medical, physical, cognitive, sensory and/or social-emotional considerations… cancer, amputations, cerebral palsy, neurofibromatosis, blindness, hearing impairments, Autism, Down syndrome, seizures, depression, PTSD, and so many more factors are a part of our attendees’ lives.
We Will focus on celebrating those who inspire us, those who’s lives have touched us, and those special everyday moments that make us smile.
We Will celebrate life’s adventures through Will’s eyes and cherish every moment. Will and Wyatt help us gain traction every day!!!
driven2smile is also a part of their lives. UCR’s volunteers provide each attendee and their family or caregiver one of the most memorable days of their lives – riding on the track, meeting UCR members and participating in a day specifically designed for them brings unparalleled joy!!!
Will loved driven2smile. This year, we will bring Will’s love and enthusiasm to driven2smile. “I Will… Wyatt not…” will be this year’s mantra of gratitude and appreciation. This year, we Will focus on celebrating those who inspire us, those who’s lives have touched us, and those special everyday moments that make us smile. We Will celebrate life’s adventures through Will’s eyes and cherish every moment. Will and Wyatt help us gain traction every day!!!
