WHAT WOULD BRING THESE FANS OUT TO FIRST ENERGY STADIUM IN READING, PA SO EARLY? 

 

 

THEY MUST HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE READING PHILLIES NEW SECRET WEAPON FATIH ZIEGLER!

 

It was Special Olympics day at First Energy and Faith brought some electricity to the occasion with her warm smile and her ceremonial first pitch was a beauty.  In fact she didn’t even warm up I was told. She’s a natural. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer young lady either.

 

For the few people in Reading, PA and the greater Reading area who don’t know Faith let me tell you something, she is one hard working gal. Yes despite her health limitations she trains hard at Gold’s Gym in Wyomissing, PA and she sticks to her program. She comes in with a smile and leaves with a smile. She loves her parents and her family unconditionally and she is friendly to everyone she crosses paths with.

At the end of the day there was a lot of happy participants and another successful night for the Special Olympics. And Kudos to the organizers, workers, and many many volunteers from the Special Olympics group who work tirelessly to give those with special needs a valued place in life that they richly deserve.

 

Let’s face it sometimes those of us fortunate enough to not have handicaps take for granted just how important this is. Those people who do suffer from limitations and health problems are also inspirational to one another.

 

For example I am bi-polar and I face many difficult challenges everyday. And when I see Faith and others like her plugging away and giving life everything they got, I can’t help but be inspired and motivated by their resilience and determination!

 

Hey is it any wonder her name is FAITH?
