Grace Ann Leslie is our 8 year old daughter. She was diagnosed with      Chromosome 18 Q- (Q deletion) at the age of 3.  This abnormality has          affected her motor skills and severely affected her speech. We were able to become connected with The Chromosome 18 Registry & Research Society in San Antonio, TX. We met families from all over the world that have      created a unique community of people that understand and learn from each other. They are helping to further research of the 18th Chromosome.

Gliding Stars of Findlay is a national organization that has a chapter in Findlay, OH. Grace began learning to skate with them and their volunteers at age 3 1/2. Skating has helped with her motor skills and trunk control. She builds confidence and friendships on the ice.
