Danielle is only 9 months old but she is quite a little character. Her favorite thing to do is squeal in delight at the world around her. She is very curious and loves to get into things. She always had a smile on her face, even when she's sick in the hospital.
 
Danielle’s mother hopes that Danielle can get the best care possible so that she can live a long and fulfilling life while being able to do everything her peers are physically capable of and more!  She also hopes for more answers as to the cause and treatment of children diagnosed with Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome.
 
Danielle was born a fighter with a strong will and sunny disposition. No matter what difficulties she faces or what pain she is in she always has a smile, and that smile is contagious. Were it not for her smile, it would be a lot harder to cope with all the hard times, the doctors’ appointments, specialists and uncertainty.
 
Danielle’s mother describes Danielle simply: “She is a wonder child!”
