Local Family Keeping Son’s Memory Alive With ‘Kicks For X’

Milford Mill, Md. (WJZ) — Xavier Byrd was born with a syndrome that only 70 worldwide and 10 in America have.
He was only expected to live until the age of 2, but lived until the age of 7, nearly three times his life expectancy.
As Xavier grew, he enjoyed his parents’ passion for dressing him in exotic clothes and loud shoes. Now, his love for shoes lives on.
Xavier’s family regularly donates a van full of shoes to children with special needs at Xavier’s old daycare.
