“I am known as ‘One Shot,’ because I have just one shot to save any
kids who may be going through what I go through every day . . .”
Born with a deforming disease known as CLOVES syndrome, Alex Bruorton
has learned to deflect the hurtful comments slung his way and focus on
the beautiful, brave person he truly is.
From birth, his illness, which causes severe overgrowth in his face,
was painfully evident. He has endured twenty-five surgeries to correct
the growths, but nothing lasts for long. At a very young age, he
realized he had to accept his face as it is. Fortunately, his family’s
fierce love and protection have been constant and impenetrable. But
it’s almost impossible to totally shield a child from bullying. Alex
went to school, suffered horrible attacks, and returned home, hiding
his fear and anger.
Gradually, his family found a way to help him help himself. They
enlisted the help of a therapist who showed Alex how to declare a truce
on his war with the outside world and learn to open up and talk—about
himself, about life, about pain, and about joy.
Today, Alex has friends, is an avid fisherman, and loves his life. Any
bullies who come his way are quickly disarmed by his honest, integrity,
and humanity.
His story will inspire kids and parents alike.
Zuiker Press is proud to publish stories about important current topics
for kids and adolescents, written by their peers, that will help them
cope with the challenges they face in today’s troubled world.
