Running the 100 meter!

24/03/2025

Some exciting things are happening lately. Michael is on the track team at his high school; this has been in the works since last year and it's happening. He has a running guide who is guiding and coaching him. So far, he has competed in three meets, competing in Shot Put, Long Jump, and the 100-meter run 🏃. We are so excited for him and proud. He is being cheered on by the crowd and teammates, and this is building his confidence. This is just the beginning for him. He has waited so long to be a part of something like this, having been vision-impaired and only able to see with one eye, very little. This is a big accomplishment for him. Thank you to everyone who has made this happen for him.

Today marks a profoundly significant milestone, a 10 year Cancer Free Anniversary, and I am beaming with pride for my Hero. Until you've heard those scary words, 'cancer', you cannot fully grasp the depth of resilience and courage that 'cancer free' embodies. My grandchild's journey has been nothing short of remarkable, and today, he proudly proclaims his 10 years of being Cancer free and alive, filling our heart with a mix of sadness and joy. It's a reminder that no child should ever have to endure the hardships that he has faced. Yet, despite the challenges, Michael's spirit remains unbroken, and he continues to inspire us with his kindness, compassion, and generosity. With a heart full of love and a soul that's growing stronger by the day, Michael is growing into an exceptional young man. We remain eternally grateful for the love, prayers, and support that have uplifted us throughout this journey. Congratulations Michael keep on smiling buddy and moving forward!

Road trip weekend getaway with my favorite people. Michael was invited to Vancouver for Vision to Victory Active Camp for 3 days. He is super excited, as he has a long itinerary for the whole weekend, which even includes tomorrow night, when they will take the kids to a Portland Trailblazers game too. This is all through the Washington State Department of Services for the Blind. He will learn lots of new things, new technologies, play tennis, flag football, and have an NBA 2K gaming experience, plus meet new friends and prepare for the future. Steve and I will hardly get to see him, except in the evenings and at breakfast. They are all so welcoming, and I am super excited for him. We walked into a room with his name on the TV screen; he thought that was pretty cool. Excited he will meet more kids some of them have traveled alone maybe next time Mike will venture on he’s own too this is he’s first time coming to this type of an event and it was a pretty long drive 4 hours . Some of the kids live here at the School of the blind this weekend is mostly all about sports and jobs so he is ready to learn new things .

Look who got his braces! He got them just a few days ago and is doing great with minimal vision, although some challenges lie ahead. But he has been doing great staying away from certain foods and maintaining good oral hygiene without being reminded.

During camp week in Vancouver, WA, Mike was thrilled to discover that his previous counselor from last year would be returning. He quickly said goodbye to us and eagerly anticipated the adventures that lay ahead. Sounds like he has a week full of lots of activities planned.
