Check this out next time you're feeling sorry for yourself.
An 8-year-old Kentucky boy can do it all-- play baseball, football, soccer. And he does it with one leg.
Adam Bender takes his position behind the plate, resting on his right knee. When a runner rounds third looking to score, Adam jumps up and holds his ground.
At bat, his athletic skill and balance allow him to take a full swing, and he usually makes contact. He hops to first base as quickly as he can. If he's safe, he uses crutches to run the bases. When he gets thrown out, he hops dejectedly back to the dugout.
Pretty inspirational...next time I don't feel like walking the dog or getting off the couch to do something, I'll think of Adam....and probably lay back down again! What an awesome story.
Thanks for waking up with Greg and Melissa each weekeday morning on KS95 and I'll see you on the radio!
