Inspiring 8 Year Old with One Leg

So this post has nothing to do with business practices, technology or the answering service industry, but I feel it is a well deserved story for many of you to read. I saw this story covered on ESPN and then found a great web article covering the story titled, KID CAN DO IT ALL ON ONE LEG. Adam Benner is an 8 year old boy with one leg, lost at the age of 1 year due to cancer. His desire to fit in with his peers and accomplish his goals should be an inspiration to everyone. He plays baseball, football, and soccer with fellow peers as if he doesn't miss a step or expect any special treatment. From the above article, during an "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." This is a great story about perseverance and determination.
