“I mean, the first couple times it took two instructors to hold him up,” Susan’s daughter and Brendon’s mother, Liza Huber, chimed in. “So to see him pretty much free skiing… it’s amazing. It’s incredible. He’s made a lot of great strides.”

In May 2016, Brendan walked his first red carpet after undergoing a life-changing Cerebral palsy surgery. “For the first time he can stand up straight. His feet are flat on the floor,” Susan proudly said of her grandson at the time.

Brendan previously underwent an elective, dorsal rhizotomy surgery that involved cutting some of his lower spinal cord sensory nerves to help him walk. “It’s just really changed his life,” Liza said of her little boy’s procedure.

“He always had a lot of spirit. He’s never looked at himself as a victim,” Susan said of her grandson at the ADAPT Community Network (formerly United Cerebral Palsy NYC)’s 70th Anniversary Gala in NYC last week. “He doesn’t complain, he never did, and he’s just creative and smart as a little whip, and very engaging and warm.”
