Boston Red Sox --- And I'll be on the field!

That's right folks! This Saturday, the June 7th Red Sox game against the Seattle Mariners I was asked to be a special guest and be on the field at Fenway for Paralympic Awareness Day/ Disability Awareness Day at the ballpark!!

So, the game starts at 3:55pm EST, but I will be a part of the "pre-game" festivities just before the first pitch. So tune in early for the game and perhaps you will see me on the field (it should be on FOX, check your local listings for the pre-game stuff)!! There will be 4 other paralympic hopefuls and also some individuals from international special olympics of Massachusetts. They will be reading a bio and having us march in following the US Paralympics banner onto the field and then they will light a mock Olympic torch. As we go down the third baseline our bios will be read and then we will line up behind homeplate for the national anthem (which will also be done in American Sign Language). Then the first pitch will be thrown (though not by me... bummer I know ;-) and then the game will begin!!!

I believe this game WILL be broadcast nationally on FOX according to the website.

I opted to bring my parents as guests to the game. I hope you'll all get a chance to tune in and at least say, hey I know her!

After that it's off to Arizona for US Paralympic Trials. I just wanted to let you all know about this neat opportunity that I have. I hope everything is going well with you and I look forward to sharing more info as the time comes in the upcoming weeks!
