NBC and the Paralympics


The above picture is Marlon with the doctor for the 2008 Paralympic team the night that he was injured running in the 100 meter event in Beijing.  He didn't really want me to take his picture, but being the persuasive mother that I am,  I was able to convince him that he would want a picture someday for posterity sake.  We are excited that NBC will air a 2 hour special about the Paralympics this Sunday, November 9th at 2:30 p.m. EST.  It will feature Marlon along with many other amazing Paralympians.  Hope if your schedule allows you will be able to view this program.  We have had the pleasure of meeting several of the athletes and are so touched by their stories.  We hope someday the Paralympics can get the live coverage that they are so deserving of.  Marlon seems to be doing well with his rehab and says he planning on London in 4 years!  Way to go Marlon, we are so proud of you!!!
