Back in April, I was able to help out with the Jr. Paralympic Trials, put on by Bridge II Sports in Durham. Everyone qualified for the regional competition.
It took weeks of practice every weekend. Each week, I got to see the participants improved more and more, and they got really interested in the different sports they got to try and then improve on. Board member Cheyanne and I would discuss every week after practice how much progress everyone was making each week, and it really impressed us. I think my favorite sport in the event was tennis, because the kids really seemed to like that one a lot.
By the way, there's a new tennis event going on July 15, July 22, August 5 and August 11 in Cary: See more info here - http://www.bridge2sports.org/Tennis.html
Back to the Jr Paralympic Trials, I wanted to point out a new video that is up on MyNC.com, which chronicles the trial day in Durham. Watch it at http://durham.mync.com/site/durham/video_landing_page/?video_id=141
Have a good Independence Day weekend everyone.
