#SwimForOllie Memorial Swim Scholarship
Meet Ollie
Ollie, 3, was a bright, happy and busy child with a deep love of Sesame Street, The Wiggles, bananas, pizza, cookies, cuties, french fries, banana bread and apple juice. He loved to sing his ABCs, count to 19, point out letters and colors, sing, dance, flap and show off his happy feet. He was an entertainer on any elevated surface but did not perform for the camera. He enjoyed eating on top of the table, playing in muddy puddles, being outside, listening to music, playing games on his tablet, taking hats off of Momma's and Daddy's heads, playing "Where's Ollie?" and "Patty Cake," cuddling with his soft blue blanket and resting in the arms of Momma and Daddy. He began and ended each day with a banana and apple juice and slept comfortably
between his Mom and Dad every night. His favorite phrases were "Are you ready?," "Well, cookie time!" "Well, pizza!, "and "Feed with purpose." His first word was "happy”
Ollie drowned in a creek across the street from his house after bolting from his house and finding water. 50% of autistic children wonder, and nearly all of them will go straight to water. Little dipper survival swim, Created a scholarship in Ollie‘s name to provide scholarships to autistic children specifically for this reason.
