This 2 day trip, which was a first trip to New York for both mother and son, also gave Khalid and Cindy the ability to have some fun while they shared their story about growing up with a speech disorder with Inside Edition TV for their segment on apraxia and the Cherab Foundation. 

Thanks to the generous donations to the Cherab Foundation from Summit Grand Hotel, Mars 2112 restaurant in NYC, One If By Land restaurant in NYC, and the Empire State Building, we were able to fly Khalid, who is now "overcome" apraxia, and his mother Cindy in from New Mexico for our August meeting, "What happens to children with apraxia when they grow up?" and take them out on the town!

Here are some pictures from Khalid's and Cindy's one day in New York.

Dakota and Tanner joined Cindy and Khalid for a fancy dessert and were very well behaved. (The secret, you ask? -we wore them out!)

(Actually, the REAL secret-we wore us all out, but what a great day!)
