Special Olympics has meant a lot to our family over the years. Polar Plunge is the big fundraiser that helps fund all of the sports and activities that Brandon and his peers participate in. The link is below if you'd like to make a donation! https://t.co/6lbWvYxabb

Another amazing night of Beats by Jags at the boys game! #inclusionrocks

[Kerry @KerryLust]

Brandon had a great time this morning at Polar Plunge!

[Jodi Larson @jsl1021]

So proud to be a Jag today! We had over 50 students at the Special Olympic Polar Plunge today supporting the Unified Jags! We raised almost $24,000 and ventured the blocks of ice that caused a few cuts and bruises as we took the Plunge! @Jaguars_AD @ankeny_jaguars #inclusionrocks

@LiliaDarkStar When you said it's the routine of birthdays as opposed to the gifts, that really struck me as being true of my son. He wants the cake and candles, but he won't eat the cake. He knows he's supposed to get a gift, but it's definitely the routine for him that is important.

[Kerry @KerryLust]

Absolutely love that Brandon gets to be a part of this!

[Jodi Larson @jsl1021]

First night of kid captains! Brandon and Alyssa got to go out with their PEOPEL PE buddy Reed.

[Kerry @KerryLust]

I love that Brandon has these opportunities! They even played the Super Mario theme for his walk up song!

[Jodi Larson @jsl1021]

Brandon showing how it’s done. First pitch at @ACJagbaseball tonight. #playunified

[Jodi Larson @jsl1021]

B. Lust, a state qualifier in the softball throw, is throwing the first pitch tonight at the @ACJagbaseball game. Be there at 5:00 to watch! 👀

[Centennial Digital @JagsDigital]

This is awesome. “Beats by Jags” is the halftime entertainment for #14 @GirlsSoccerMC and #6 @ACHSJagsSoccer and both teams stayed out of the locker room to watch. “Beats” is the inclusive cardio drum club at @Jaguars_AD

[Kerry @KerryLust]

Brandon loves participating in Beats by Jags! Such a great program!

[Jodi Larson @jsl1021]

This crew is ready to perform at the @ACHSJagsSoccer match our Beats By Jags routine!

[State Rep. Heather Matson @MatsonForHouse]

Happy to welcome my constituents Kerry & Jaina Lust to the Iowa House today! Kerry is a teacher and they are using part of their spring break to advocate for AEAs and the Work Without Worry bill, which will provide more opportunities for Iowans with disabilities. #ialegis #HD42

[Kerry @KerryLust]

So happy that Brandon got to attend this event today with his teacher and a friend! He told me he had a great time!

After 10 1/2 years, Brandon had his last day of therapy at Balance Autism. Brandon has learned so many new skills and we learned new ways to help support him with the challenges he will continue to face. Thank you to those who work so hard to make a difference.

[Kerry @KerryLust]

I always appreciate being able to tell our story. Brandon did a great job at the meeting!
