With the Olympics fully under way and the Paralympics only weeks away, who is not inspired to play some sports of their own?

Gwinnett County Public Schools has sent us an amazing video of their recent Reeve Foundation Quality of Life Grant they received earlier this year.

"This grant will help to support the interscholastic adapted sports program that provides competitive athletic opportunities for students with physical disabilities.All state funding for this program has been cut. The children involved in the program range from kindergarten through 12th grade. All students with physical disabilities who cannot participate in the regular sports programs are served. The students must meet the same academic requirements as their able-bodies classmates, so it is much different than the Special Olympics (which focuses on individuals with cognitive challenges. Students have a variety of paralysis-causing conditions, including spina bifida, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and spinal cord injuries. ”

Watch the video here!
