As rough as it’s been lately, I needed something to inspire me. Last night on our local newscast, they did a piece on Nathan Baker. He’s a member of a local high school cross country team. And he has cerebral palsy.
His story and his inspiration helped get a good part of me out of my funk.
So, Nathan, thanks for being awesome.

“The people with disabilities are somebody to respect.”
Absolutely.
Go, Nathan Baker!! Talk about an inspiration!
Nathan’s Mom here. I remember the younger years and how tough they can sometimes be. Celebrate and treasure the victories you do have. Cry on the shoulders of others when you are struggling. Thanks for your post.
