Have you ever heard of the Paralympics?… Are you sure?…I ask because a lot of people think they have, but what they’re really thinking of are the “Special Olympics“, a completely different thing all together. I’d heard of the them only because my husband wrote for the Paralympics basketball team in Athens’ ‘04 games, but before that I was as clueless as the rest of you, so I was super pumped to see an interview with a Paralympian come down the satellite interview pipeline. I think it’s high time we all get a clue about these inspirational athletes.
