Accomplishments Gamble is very involved to Scouts and giving back to his community.  He has helped clean up area retention ponds, excelled at raising money through popcorn sales and getting donations for those serving in the military.  Gamble has even helped donate his time for Feed My Starving Children.  

What makes Gamble so awesome When he was 4 years old, Gamble was diagnosed as being legally blind but in that same year, he also tested into second grade.  Smart, funny and handsome are three characteristics that we have always used to describe Gamble.  He is an incredibly well-adjusted kid and brilliant beyond his years.

Playing with his friends and video games are his favorite things to do but he also loves Science and Math. These are what motivate him in school and he and his Dad love to talk about new concepts (his Dad has a Ph.D in Physics) and properties of both.  

Gamble struggles too with another challenge.  He needs to have Open Heart Surgery in the next year or so and will require a life-time of procedures as a result. So, I just want to have him recognized for all that he is and to remind him that he has to much yet to give and accomplish.
