Volunteers make the impossible possible

Posted

Midlands special needs lake lovers are headed for Lake Murray this summer.

With their families, children over the age of six will spend Friday, June 2, enjoying tubing, kayaking and water skiing on an adaptable ski.

Limitless Sports volunteers ensure the success and safety of all participants.

The volunteers agree no reward compares to a thumbs-up and big smile after a great ride on the lake from a child who has just begun to see their limitless potential.

Limitless Sports was founded in 1998 to give children with special needs the opportunity to participate in sports that otherwise would be denied to them.

“The key is adaptation,” said Dr. Fred C. Piehl of Midlands Orthopaedics and Neurosurgery. He has developed programs with modified sports equipment that allows the children to participate in wheelchair basketball, sailing and the annual ski clinic.

Led by Dr. Piehl, the Midlands Orthopaedics team members say they believe a thriving community requires healthy, happy children.

Their commitment to children goes far beyond the exam room.

For them, healing what is physically broken is not enough. Their ultimate goal is to empower every child to reach their full potential.

All children deserve the opportunity to make the impossible possible.

The event is 9 a.m. until after lunch at the Woodmen of the World, 2000 Johnson Marina Road, Chapin.

Lunch and ice cream will be provided.
