It's that time of year again and I have talked both mom & dad into plunging with me! It's shaping up to be a very cold year! Dad and I will plunge and mom is planning on "Polar Dipping" so she can stand on the sand and take pictures.
Last year, you generously donated and I was able to help my Area 11 Special Olympics team raise money to support our local sports. Every year we raise the money to continue the many sports that are available to people with disabilities in Area 11. I participate in golf, soccer, basketball, Tae Kwon Do, and track. My favorite sport is whichever one I am currently participating in. Dad loves golf best because we play as an Alternate Shot team (9 holes on the course). This past summer we were selected to be part of the Virginia team at the National Golf Invitational in Lincoln, Nebraska.
My area which includes the City of Fredericksburg and the counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania, Caroline and King George, has close to 400 athletes participating in aquatics, basketball, Bocce' Ball, bowling, cheerleading, equestrian, golf, powerlifting, soccer, softball, tennis, Tae Kwon Do, track and field, volleyball, and Young Athletes (a special program for 2-7 year olds). I usually participate in as many sports as mom will let me do. She's my chauffeur. It's all awsome and I plan on being part of a Special Olympics team for a long time!!!
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate, too.
