Your Support in Action

Aiden Robinson

For Aiden Robinson, the fun lies in the strategy. While much of his life has involved the challenges associated with his Neurofibromatosis and Sagittal Craniosynostosis diagnoses, Aiden, as a result, has developed resilience, strength, and patience–along with an amazing knowledge base and generous heart.
