"KEEN is a national, nonprofit volunteer-led organization that provides one-to-one recreational opportunities for children and young adults with developmental and physical disabilities at no cost to their families and caregivers. KEEN's mission is to foster the self-esteem, confidence, skills and talents of its athletes through non-competitive activities, allowing young people facing even the most significant challenges to meet their individual goals."
This girl is awesome. She's even a great singer...she sang at our wedding (which everyone thought was a CD, not a live singer) and even belted out a few National Anthems here and there.
After reading her story (which I'm not sure how I missed this until now) I feel like I too should get up and go do something. I LOVE to help others, and love to see kids get excited at their own personal accomplishments.
I can't physically help KEEN at this time, but I can help by voting in the Eagle Rare Life Honor Award and Contest. Seven out of the top 20 stories will win a prize for their charity:
