Hello all! I have to say that Debbie Capen pretty much covered what was truly an awesome experience for those of us who were blessed to be at Victory Junction with the TM families. We were able to watch these kids take part in camping activities that they might never be able to their entire lives. There were so many "first times" for all of them. Huge smiles on their faces when getting to ride a horse, or doing the "bullseye dance" when they hit the center of the target in archery. Playing baseball on a diamond that they could use their wheelchairs on....and wheel around the bases with them. Using an air gun to take the lug nuts off the wheels of a racecar, or taking a hot air balloon ride. The making "uggy" faces when their lips touched a fish before they threw it back in the lake. Being able to take part in a skit and be on a real stage in a real theatre in front of a real audience. All of these experiences as well as many others were shared with other kids who have the same issues that they do. What a great opportunity also for the siblings to meet other siblings and for the parents to be able to talk to the doctors (who brought their families as well) about their concerns. The officers of the TMA should be so proud that they were able to arrange this camp again. They are in incredible group of people who are dedicated to making things happen for the TM community. And in case you don't all know it, Sandy Siegel is the most caring, kind hearted and soft spoken man you could ever meet. We are a fortunate community indeed.
