Wow , each time I read the updates, its so overwhelming the wonderful things being down too help the less fortunate is awesome, breaks my heart at times wishing I could help, Olga is amazing Lady, my cous has something like spinal bifida here in Canada too see him accomplish so much through his life, I know others with disablities can achieve great things, with caring people willing too help, be neat too see them try learning a sport, like sledge hockey etc.. I have a dream , sometimes I think its foolish too try to achieve it, than hitting a road block and not know where to start and than something strikes me and reminds me dreams are not to be takin for granted. Hearing these wonderful stories touches the heart so much, with everyone involved and so many caring people out there willing to go that extra mile is terrific.
