Races, softball throw, long jump and high jump events were held. And most important of all the 400m wheelchair race, which the one and only Trey Marshall was in.
Some of the kids getting ready to race.

And their off, you can't really see it but Trey is smiling.
Go Trey!
It's a tight race!
Getting closer.

Thanks Maple Mountain High! We had a great time.

I do have to say that I got a little choked up at times watching this track meet. It was absolutely amazing to watch these kids feel so important and happy doing these events. And as a mom of a special needs child it means the world to me that people make an effort, take the time, and engery to do something like this. It makes me so happy to see my child be able to participate in activities like this.
So to those of you who read this blog I would ask you to look at what you can do to help a child whether or not that child has special needs. It can be something small, because even though it may seem small to you, it is a big deal to that child.
