What does Gabriel love most about nature?

Gabriel loves that nature is full of so many amazing animals. He gets really excited when he learns about them or sees them in real life, especially animals he’s never seen before!


What is Gabriel's favorite animal—and why?

His favorite animal is a capybara because he thinks they are adorable and funny, and he loves how calm they are.


What is Gabriel's favorite outdoor activity?

Swimming! Gabriel loves being in the water and the freedom it gives him. Because of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, swimming is one of the activities that feels easiest and most comfortable for him. He dreams of one day swimming with dolphins and turtles and exploring the ocean.
