Go Team USA

The Lakeshore Foundation hosted a community event - "The Road to Rio" where the community could come learn about the events of the Paralympics, participate in some "events" and even meet some former medal winners from previous Paralympics. We met the Hinton Family there and participated in wheelchair basketball, seated volleyball, Bocchia, Goalball, and learned how people who handcycle train to compete. We got to do stretches with athletes and touch and feel lots of special equipment. The people are what make it...kind, compassioate, competitive, AWESOME people who compete at very high levels...Truly amazing what people can do, despite their challenges. As our friend Mary Allison says (Gold Medal in Wheelchair Basketball), "There is no physical limit to human achievement!". Way to go TEAM USA! It really expanded our horizons and deepened our worldview and appreciation for people and how life can be lived.
