This is Nashton Proctor, my son.  He is a two-and-a-half year old who is loving, easy going, and loves to watch Blues Clues and Yo Gabba Gabba.  And, as we found out late last year, Nashton is also autistic.

There's still a lot to learn about ASD (autism spectrum disorder).  How's it caused?  What's the best therapy?  What's the long-term prognosis? 

What I do know is that Shannon and I will do everything we can to make sure Nashton enjoys and lives life to its fullest.  Nashton will be a future Charleston Miracle League player, so this year I'm running especially for him.

Please help me raise funds so that Nashton and others like him with any all types of special needs will be able to play baseball, for free, in an organized league.

As a special personal thank you, anyone who sponsors me for $25 or more (and wants it) will get an autographed Premier Edition of Seasoned Rookie (www.seasonedrookie.com), my first novel.  Just email me at channingproctor@gmail.com and let me know where it needs to be sent and to whom (if it's a gift).

If you haven't seen the miracle that occurs when these special athletes play baseball, please do so.  Our Spring 2010 Season starts February 27... and don't forget to visit our super cool new website at www.CharlestonMiracleLeague.org.

Thank you for your generosity!
