When people ask me what we do for a living, I often say that, “we are in the business of changing lives.”
One such life that has been touched by Powerchair Football is Rick, who plays for a growing team that we started 3 years ago. After his first competition, I received a note from him with these encouraging words:
I’ve been a die-hard sports fan for literally over 35 years and feel like this is my first shot at playing a true competitive team sport… It’s a real sport!!! You have no idea what that means to me. What a great feeling!!! Being nervous before the games… being so pumped at the first kick-off… playing our hearts out to a draw against a better, more experienced team in the first game… a hard-working coach; cheering fans – these are the team events that I’ve seen thousands of times only as a spectator — until now!!!
It’s people like Rick that give us the energy to do what we do! Thank you for supporting power wheelchair soccer and for changing lives like Rick’s!
