with me to make my campaign the success it was It takes very special people to so willingly give of their time and work so hard for cause They must first of all believe in what they arc working for and I hope that they as do I find satisfaction in their hearts when they realize the good they ore doing when they offer their help to me It so easy to say no I am involved in enough right now But did any one of the handicapped adults we arc helping have that same opportunity of saying No I don t want to spend the rest of my life in this wheelchair I don t want to wear oil these braces or have limbs I want to have two arms and two legs that function yours No they didn t have that Freedom of choice But because of the efforts made to help these people they arc learning to help themselves 1 only wish you could all see ind meet just some of these special people who hive gained confidence in themselves and overcome the feeling of self pity to go on and in some cases drive a car maybe totalled controlled by their hands or if they don happen to possess these limbs try the whole thing steer brake signal system with your feet I This Is being done every day and do you read of a cor
