handicap: a disadvantage that makes achievement unusually difficult . . .
. . . but not impossible
There is something afoot in Berks and it's inspiring.
A team of 5 locals (Janet Oberholtzer & Beverly Shantz sporting IM ABLE gear, right photo) will be running the 2012 NYC Marathon, representing and fundraising for IM ABLE. It began with the dream of Chris Kaag, founder if IM ABLE & Corps Fitness (top left, center).
The IM ABLE Foundation was created to build active lifestyles for individuals with disabilities. The mission of the IM ABLE Foundation is to remove obstacles that prevent people affected by disabilities from being physically active by providing resources, grants, fitness opportunities and motivation. They change attitudes about the potential of disabled individuals by exposing what is possible.
There are amazing roots building beautiful things in Berks.
Last night's send off party is where enthusiasm and motivation bloomed.
