A Help Kids Shine ambassador for the Niagara Children's Centre is leading by example.
Ten year old Matthew Sacco inspired students and staff at St. Denis Catholic Elementary School to come together and raise $500 for the centre.
Sacco has a large lesion pushing on his brain, causing some loss of motor control on the right side of his body.
During the Help Kids Shine campaign, he told CKTB therapy sessions at the centre are fun for him and even inspired him to try out for his school's soccer, volleyball, and basketball teams.
