For many of us, playing sports is an important part of childhood. Sports are often where kids find new friends in their teammates and shared interests that shape their lives. For 14-year-old Daine and the Johnson family, sports have always been important. Daine loves sports, and so do his parents and siblings. His brother, in fact, is looking to play football in college. So for Daine, not being able to play sports has always been disappointing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Daine was 13 months old, he fell getting out of the shower. That fall resulted in a broken leg. His parents and doctors back home in Alaska thought nothing of this. Kids fall, kids get hurt, kids break bones. Daine got a cast, and the Johnson family nursed his broken leg as usual. But when the cast came off, it wasn\u2019t even a week before Daine broke his leg again. Over the span of the next seven months, Daine proceeded to break not one, not two, but six more bones. \u201cIt was things my oldest son wouldn\u2019t even get a bruise from,\u201d recalled Diana, Daine\u2019s mom. Diana knew something was wrong, but the medical care at their home in Alaska wasn\u2019t advanced enough to run the tests Daine needed for a diagnosis. \u201cDoctors said he just had bad luck,\u201d Diana recalled, \u201cbut to us, it wasn\u2019t IF he was going to break a bone, it was WHEN.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results from genetic testing in Alaska would have taken 3-6 months to receive. Knowing there was something wrong with their son, the Johnson family packed up and moved to Rhode Island in search of the medical care they knew he deserved. Two weeks in their new home, Daine slipped on a fridge magnet, completely snapping his thigh bone in half. His parents rushed him to Hasbro Children\u2019s Hospital, where they very quickly got the answers they\u2019d been searching for for years. \u201cThe orthopedic doctor on call walked in, took one look at our son, and said, \u2018He has osteogenesis imperfecta,\u2019\u201d Diana recalled, \u201cso from that moment on, our lives completely changed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within six weeks of their move to Rhode Island, Daine had received a diagnosis and began treatments. As Diana learned more about osteogenesis imperfecta, she realized there were symptoms Daine had his whole life that she didn\u2019t know to look for. \u201cThat\u2019s the hardest thing, the not knowing,\u201d Diana recalled. \u201cAs a mom, you know there is something wrong and that something is happening, we just didn\u2019t understand it.\u201d Daine\u2019s condition prevents his body from producing a certain type of collagen, which affects his heart valves, lungs, hearing, skin, internal organs, and \u201cpretty much everything,\u201d his mom said. \u201cI tell people it\u2019s almost like driving a car blindfolded, because you just don\u2019t know. We\u2019re still learning. Doctors are still learning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was such a relief for Diana and her family to finally have answers and work on a plan to treat their son\u2019s condition. These treatments include IVs to keep Daine\u2019s bone density as high as possible. In year 12 of his treatment, Daine has received more than 120 IV transfusions and recently suffered his 30th<\/sup> broken bone. \u201cThe breaks still happen,\u201d Diana said, \u201cjust not as often. The treatments make such a difference for Daine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though he was physically feeling better, Daine was still struggling with the thought of never having a team of his own. When he was almost nine years old, his family went to the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, where they met another family who told them about Team IMPACT. \u201cIt was immediate for me,\u201d Diana said. \u201cI was like, \u2018We HAVE to do this,\u2019 because Daine can never play sports, and he LOVES sports. I signed up right away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks later, Daine was matched with the wrestling team at Johnson and Wales. But he didn\u2019t share his mom\u2019s immediate buy-in. \u201cHe was hesitant because he didn\u2019t really like wrestling or know much about the sport,\u201d Diana said, \u201cbut we convinced him to give it a try.\u201d And it wasn\u2019t long before the team won Daine over. At his very first practice, Daine walked into the gym to an eruption of hoots and hollers from his new teammates. \u201cThey were in the basement in the gym, and we walked in and Daine just goes, \u2018WOAH, okay, this is cool,\u2019\u201d his mom recalled. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to explain, but it was like instant love with them.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon enough, Daine was signing his letter of intent to commit to the Wildcats. His new teammates took him under their wing, showing him their best wrestling moves and presenting him with a team-signed singlet, which is proudly hanging on his bedroom wall. He attended weeks\u2019 worth of pre-season practices, and at the team\u2019s first home match, Daine was welcomed to the mat to flip the coin. He sits on the team bench at every match and rarely misses the opportunity to cheer for his teammates, attending as many home matches as possible and traveling to away matches when he can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of Daine and Diana\u2019s favorite moments, however, happen off the mat. \u201cBefore COVID, the team would come to Daine\u2019s treatments,\u201d Diana recalled. \u201cThey had it all planned out.\u201d The hospital only allowed six visitors at a time, so Daine\u2019s teammates would visit in shifts. \u201cThe team always split up and spent literally the whole day with him,\u201d Diana said. \u201cHe loved it. He loved them. They\u2019d play video games, sit there and talk.\u201d Each year, the team attends Daine\u2019s annual walks, and they celebrate big milestone like birthdays with him. Before long, Daine\u2019s teammates started calling Diana \u201cmom,\u201d further solidifying the little brother status Daine held on the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost immediately, Diana watched her son change. \u201cIt was almost instant with Daine, having this change his life,\u201d Diana said. With Daine\u2019s frequent doctors\u2019 appointments and therapies, Diana was worried they wouldn\u2019t be able to make time for the team. \u201cAfter a few weeks it just kind of became routine to make sure we make this a part of his life,\u201d<\/strong> she said. \u201cHe fell in love with the team so fast. It was life changing for us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest change Diana noticed was Daine\u2019s confidence. He recently started his own fitness journey, inspired by the discipline and commitment of his teammates. \u201cIt\u2019s confidence and strength that the guys have shown him<\/strong>,\u201dDiana said. \u201cCoach Lonnie always tells us that Daine is showing these kids how lucky they are to have these strong bodies and play their sport, but at the same time, they\u2019re teaching Daine to have the same confidence and strength.<\/strong> He\u2019s learned confidence and realized his own strength. Even more than physically, he\u2019s one tough kid.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as the team has given Daine strength, Daine has given his team courage. \u201cThey see him struggle. They see everything,\u201d Diana said. \u201cThey know everything he goes through. A lot of them don\u2019t ever get to see a child fight like that, so I think that\u2019s what he\u2019s taught them the most.\u201d Because of Daine, Diana said, the team has learned to not take things for granted, to not judge someone who may be struggling, and to see him just as they see everyone else. \u201cThat\u2019s something we had to deal with a lot when Daine was younger,\u201d she recalled. \u201cHe was in body casts and sometimes looked at differently. He doesn\u2019t always get teased, but he does get left out. He doesn\u2019t always feel like a normal kid. That\u2019s another thing the team does for us. They make him feel normal.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery time they know he is struggling, they send messages,\u201d Diana said. That first year, Daine connected with the entire team but grew particularly close to three teammates who have since graduated. This tradition of sending messages of strength started with one of those teammates, Tim Higgins. \u201cTim is the one who is closest with Daine,\u201d Diana said. \u201cTheir relationship right off the bat was incredible. Tim always wanted a little brother, so it was instant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years later, Tim and Daine still talk and text all the time. They play video games together and chat online. Whenever Tim and some of Daine\u2019s other first-year teammates are back in Rhode Island, they spend their time with Daine, picking him up to go fishing or bowling, coming to his birthday parties, or going to the park to hang out. \u201cFamily for life<\/strong>,\u201d Diana said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that family now extends beyond Daine\u2019s teammates. Last year, Tim got married, and Daine and his family were invited to the wedding. Daine had known Tim and his wife for years by then, but when they arrived, Tim\u2019s new mother-in-law, who Daine had never met, came up to him immediately and said, \u201cYou must be Daine. We\u2019ve been hearing so much about you! Do you know how much Tim loves you?\u201d If Tim hadn\u2019t already known, he soon learned just how much he means to Daine when Daine conquered his nerves to deliver a wedding speech to Tim. \u201cHe worked on that speech for five months,\u201d Diana said. \u201cIt was really sweet being a part of that day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that Daine has graduated from Team IMPACT, he doesn\u2019t know every member of the team as closely as he used to, “but they know him,\u201d Diana said. \u201cHe walks in, and they all know it\u2019s Daine. It\u2019s cool he\u2019s still a part of the team and they talk about him when he\u2019s not around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though there are many moments and memories that make Daine\u2019s time with the Wildcats special, it all ties back to the team itself. \u201cThis is special because of the guys, because of the team. He was a part of the team right away,\u201d Diana said. \u201cThey took him in, and when he\u2019s there, he knows he is genuinely part of the team. He doesn\u2019t feel like a kid who is just watching them or observing or a kid they HAVE to let be there. That\u2019s not how it is. He genuinely feels that he is a part of the team, and that\u2019s one of the biggest things. He\u2019ll never be on a team, but he\u2019s on their team. For life. That\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the Johnson and Wales wrestling team, Daine found HIS team. He found his group of teammates-turned-brothers, his \u201cfamily for life.\u201d Without the team, Diana worried, \u201che\u2019d have a lot less friends, a lot less big brothers.\u201d Once-quiet Daine came out of his shell around the Wildcats. He learned to love sports even more than he already did. He learned to love himself. He learned to be a teammate. \u201cI think sad is what he would be, to be honest with you,\u201d<\/strong> Diana said, thinking about life without the Wildcats. \u201cI don\u2019t know what life would be like without them.<\/strong> Thank you [Johnson and Wales wrestling] for taking him under your wing right away and showing him true strength and what a true team is. He has so much more confidence, and the fact that he can reach out to any of them at any time is priceless for him, especially when he\u2019s struggling and going thru another broken bone or surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the Johnson family and the wrestling team know they will never have to find out what life is like without one another. Diana wants to give other families the same experience her son was given through Team IMPACT. She volunteers at events and advocates for Team IMPACT\u2019s mission. \u201cTo me, Team IMPACT is life-changing, for you and your child,\u201d <\/strong>she said. \u201cThis is for your whole family but especially for your child who, like Daine, just needed the strength and confidence and a group of brothers who would take care of him. That\u2019s what I tell other parents. Don\u2019t hesitate. Team IMPACT will be the best thing you\u2019ll do for your child.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
