This is my first post on this new blog site, the news is not out yet but the Special Olympics PEI softball team has been invited to join Team Canada and will be going to Athens Greece to the Special Olympics World Games to be held June 2011. This is quite an honor to go to an international sporting event to represent your country.
What I hope to do with this blog is to spend from now to the games reporting on the progress of the team, how they are coming, their reactions to the honor, and sending daily reports while we are at the games.
I will do an entry on each of the players, hopefully with pictures if I can make it work and a story on the coaches of which I am one.
Oh yes before I forget we won Gold at the Canadian Special Olympics Games held July 2010 in London, Ontario. You might say the boys worked their way to the worlds. I can honestly say I have never been prouder or happier of any group of people in my life. Thank heavens I was wearing a pair of dark glasses when the last out was made and we won the game if you know what I mean.
The first picture is of the happy team taken just after the gold medal game was over, the second one is of the three coaches showing medals borrowed from the players as coaches are not given medals.
