Allison Onslow, 2009 Manitoba Youth Ambassador

Eleven-year old Allison Onslow loves to fly - remote control airplanes, to be exact. This is a favourite hobby that she shares with her dad. She loves it some much she is a member of the Perfect Circle Flying Club.

Allison has other interests as well: riding horses, singing, dancing, playing guitar, keyboard and the harmonica. One day she hopes to play power wheelchair hockey when she can maneuver her chair.

Allison, who was born with cerebral palsy, has been very active with Easter Seals Manitoba/SMD Foundation. For Allison, being the 2009 Manitoba Youth Ambassador gives her and her family a sense of learning, self esteem and confidence. Allison has met so many wonderful people through the various
campaigns and events. This is her way of giving back for all the good work that Easter Seals and SMD has done over the years.

Allison has participated in Easter Seals/SMD Leisure & Recreation programs by attending day camps over the past three years.
