Miracle League is starting a new league – it is
for people with disabilities AGES 19 AND OVER!!!! WHOO HOOOO!!!!! They tried last year but it didn’t come
together because they didn’t have enough coaches – so I hope that it comes
together this year. Sean LOVED playing
in a league but wasn’t interested in playing for Special Olympics, unfortunately
once he reached 19 years of age there wasn’t a place for him to play. Another example of resources no longer
available after graduating High School.
