Hello Friends and Family,

As most of you know I turned thirty this year..  whoo hoo..  and have decided to stop being lazy and get in shape.  I am now training for a triathlon- an ambitious goal for a couch potato but I am certain only good can come out of it..  and speaking of GOOD things.. I am raising money for the Charleston Miracle League by running the annual Cooper River Bridge Run.  For those of you who are not familiar with Charleston and all it's beauty click this link to see the bridge. http://www.cooperriverbridge.org/index.asp

I work as a pediatric occupational therapist at the Medically Fragile Children's Program which is part of the Medical University of SC.  I am part of a community of amazing people who make it their life's work to provide community opportunities for children with mental and physically disabilities. 

One of the greatest organizations created for these kids is the Charleston Miracle League.  The Charleston Miracle League is an organized baseball league for children with special needs.  The field was specially designed and built to accommodate children in wheelchairs and other adaptive devices.  Children who would typically be unable to participate in an organized community sport are given the opportunity to play baseball on a team and in a safe environment.  CML offers these kids a chance to increase self confidence, improve motor skills, and encourage social interaction - and most importantly they have a blast!

Working with children with special needs has become my passion and to see these kids participate in the Charleston Miracle League is priceless to me.  My goal is to raise $1,000.00.  Please consider sponsoring me on my 6 mile run across the bridge to raise money for this amazing organization.

This video says it all... Watch the kids play!
