Claire's Pages: Page 1

My name is Claire. I am years old and I like to giggle. I have a sister named Jill and also have Rett Syndrome. You can read all about me when I was little. Here are all of my school portraits over the years.

Just after I turned 18, my hair was long enough to donate to Locks of Love. Here are photos of me with my very long hair before and with my new bob haircut.

     

My friend Theresa took this awesome portrait of me. I'm 17 in this picture (right).

On my 16th birthday (below), my Grandma Bundy got me some great new toys that I can activate myself. I especially like toys that play music.

On my 13th birthday (left), I broke into my mom's special Bundlings House Concerts M&Ms, so she poured them into a bowl and I got to help myself to as many as I wanted.

On my 14th birthday (right), I got a terrific Birthday Bear from Audrey and Brent. All of its paws make noise when I press them!

Check out my Special Olympics photos! Please consider making a donation to Special Olympics Hamilton County in my name.

In June 2005, I was given the Special Olympics Hamilton County MATP Corey Matthews Memorial Award. Corey was my friend and classmate for many years until he passed away in 2004. My whole family loved him, too.

Here I am with my friend Alisha Beard in 2002. She was one of my peer helpers in school, and she went with me to camp, too. She volunteered for Special Olympics and she came to visit me even after she went on to high school. She and another one of my peer helpers, Dale, died in a car accident in August 2004 and I'll miss her very much.

One of my wonderful school aides, Brooke, and I were featured in the Fishers Junior High yearbook in 2002. As you can see, I love Brooke.
