A MOMENT OF PURE JOY FOR NINE YEAR OLD COOPER ROBERTS
FOR A FEW HOURS THIS AFTERNOON IN HIGHLAND PARK THE YOUNGEST VICTIM OF LAST YEARS FOURTH OF JULY SHOOTING GOT TO FORGET ABOUT TRAGEDY AND ENJOY THE SHOW THE NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE HOSTED JUST FOR HIM
Keeley Roberts/ Mom:
Oh my gosh today has been one of those days you get to come and not be totally immersed in everything that is difficult and challenging and overwhelming
THE LAST YEAR HAS BEEN A WHIRLWIND FOR THE ROBERTS FAMILY
ONE THAT HAS INCLUDED MONTHS OF HOSPITAL STAYS AND REHAB TREATMENTS FOR COOPER WHO IS PARALYZED FROM THE WAIST DOWN
Keeley Roberts/ Mom:
He is doing really really good he is continuing to push through the physical issues hes continuing to deal with but I think most importantly he's continuing to feel the love and support which is what we're all trying to focus on
THAT LOVE AND SUPPORT ON FULL DISPLAY AT THE HIGHLAND PARK REC CENTER WITH ROCK STAR AND FOUNDER OF THE NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE BILLY CORGAN LEADING THE WAY TO RAISE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR COOPERS MEDICAL NEEDS
Billy Corgan/ Musician:
My experiences in rock and roll tell me that sometimes having a little bit of fun is the best medicine
Keeley Roberts/ Mom:
What happened was certainly the worst of what we see in humanity sometimes but this event has been about the best of what people can do
COOPER LOVING EVERY SECOND OF THE SHOW WITH HIS TWIN BROTHER AND FRIENDS BY HIS SIDE
Missa Kate / NWA wrestler:
The fact that Cooper was there front row watching us and cheering us on its a really cool feeling
ALL OF IT SERVING AS A REMINDER OF HOW THIS COMMUNITY IS MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER
Keeley Roberts/ Mom:
You don't get to break us you dont get to take away our life you dont get to take away our happiness our joy
