My personal message:

Hi!!   I'm Larry--3rd baseman & Rover for the Boston Renegades. I have Retinitis Pigmentosa, an eye disease characterized by poor perpheral and central vision due to retinal problems.  Although I have some functional vision, its not enough to play some sports that fully sighted individuals play such as football and basketball. By playing Beep Baseball, I have the opportunity to participate in a game that's highly competitive and it gives me the opportunity to compete with others who experience the same or similar eye condition as myself.

By participating in Beep Baseball, I have had the opportunity to do things that I never thought possible.  When I first went to Beep Baseball practice, I never thought I could hit a ball that was thrown by a pitcher.  Now, after 2 years of practice, not only can I hit a ball thrown by someone else, but I can do it with confidence!!!

Beep Baseball provides athletes who are visually impaired with the chance to realize their athletic and competitive potential.  The sport also serves as a confidence-builder for the athletes who participate as well.  For this reason, we need your help in allowing the Renegades to continue playing in such a sport.

 This year, the Boston Renegades are looking to have a great year!!  We need your help in raising the money we need to get to the world series in Houston.  Help support sports for the Blind.  Donate today!!!  Please see below for details. 

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
