KEYNOTE SPEAKER:
Team McAuley: comprised of a family of five with a desire to help those with special needs that require assistance in participating in sports. Tommy and Rachel McAuley have 3 children. Grant is 10, Griffin is 8, and Mary is 6. Mary has Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, Scoliosis, and gets around in a wheelchair. She is non-verbal and is fed by a G-tube. Although she can't walk or talk, she makes up for it by smiling all the time, even when sick or having a seizure. Tommy wanted Mary to be able to participate in some kind of sporting event like her brothers but she required assistance and wasn't eligible for several programs that are available to those in wheelchairs. http://www.teammcauley.com/Home_Page.php
