Meet Honored Child, Elio
12 year old Elio and his mom, Vanessa, have an ongoing rubix cube competition, and 8 year old brother Enzo's training has already started. The family reads chapter books together, and just finished Where the Red Fern Grows. Elio has 2 dogs and a baby Crested Gecko named "Red". For fun, he plays board games, video games, and draws. When he grows up, Elio wants to create his own video game and have a youtube channel. He looks up to his mom, because her strength reminds him to be strong. Diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma in 2019, Elio says his superhero name would be Chemoboy.
