At 12, Gryffin’s progress has continued and he is a strong, fit, healthy young man with a very exciting future!
Gryffin is a keen athlete and often competes in track and field events – which he loves! Gryffin’s health has continued to be extraordinary – he has been sick very seldom his whole life, and rarely takes a day off any off from any of his activities. His diet is almost exclusively free from gluten & dairy and he eats very little sugar (luckily he can indulge in cane sugar-free ice cream at our organic store!)
In March 2018, Gryffin was cast in the Australian feature film – Ride Like Girl, in the role of young Stevie Payne – a man with Down syndrome who is a professional strapper, who helped his sister Michelle Payne to become the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup. This has been an incredible experience for which we are truly grateful!
Gryffin’s first acting role has given him opportunities beyond anything we ever expected, and he is thriving!
