Talynn Clark

Hometown: Spruce Pine, NC

Age: 10

Talynn Clark is an outgoing, people-loving 10-year-old girl who brings joy everywhere she goes. She was born with a rare genetic condition called unbalanced chromosome translocation, along with mild cerebral palsy and scoliosis. She has a special way of making everyone feel loved and is known for giving the tightest hugs to anyone who crosses her path. One of Talynn’s biggest joys is music. She especially loves Michael Jackson and will happily dance along to just about any song that plays on the radio. Her laughter, excitement, and love for life brightens every room she enters. Talynn’s journey has not been easy. During the first five months of her life, she spent much of her time in and out of the hospital, including a month in the NICU. Because of high muscle tone, she wore AFO braces on her feet and used a walker to help her move around. But one day, by the grace of God, Talynn began walking on her own and she hasn’t stopped since. Today, she no longer needs her braces or her walker. Talynn is truly a light to everyone who meets her. We give all the Glory and Praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for her life.
