Our Kid Captain for Iowa State’s first home football game on Saturday is a 9-year-old from Waukee!
Walker Ramirez was born at 24 weeks and spent 170 days in the NICU at Blank Children’s Hospital. He’s had a lifetime full of hospital stays, procedures and surgeries, but he’s never let his health issues slow him down or take the smile from his face. He’s VERY excited to be in Ames on Saturday rooting on the Cyclones and representing the team from Blank Children’s! Go Walker!!! ❤️
