Thank you to the SPT leadership in Peachtree City for such a magnificent and quality video. It truly represents how much our athletes are missed! It also shows the dedication of the volunteers that find ways to engage with our athletes. Our athletes are not defined by their disabilities, instead they are remembered and valued for their abilities!!! Our volunteers don't see obstacles; they just see and seize opportunities. Now we must all do as the video encourages each of us --- BE ACTIVE!!!
Thank you so much PTC for putting this video together for our fantastic athletes. Really looking forward to seeing everyone on the court again 💜
