The Greater Chicago Fragile X chapter families gathered on a sunny day in November to support the Brookfield Zoo and its annual Tree Trim event.
The families, 35 children and adults, sponsored an LED-lit Christmas tree, one of many scattered across the zoo in the Chicago suburb of Brookfield, Illinois. But their tree was Xtra special. In addition to traditional holiday decorations, they added hand-made “X” ornaments, family pictures, and colorful strings of beads, with time left to visit the zoo animals.
Their Xtra special tree remained on display through to year-end. What a festive way to spread the word about Fragile X!
