Wow! Good for him and good for all the young atheletes who will benefit from has actions. It makes you wish you could aspire to what this 15 year old has managed to acheive. Although there are many projects to help people with disabilities, there is just never enough done to make them feel as though they are like every other boy or girl. To see the heart ache in their eyes as they struggle to do what we take for granted is upsetting. But I'm rambling.
This time I am not signing off as Richard In Smithville but Uncle Richard Of Matthew who has severe cerebral palsy

What a great thing to get done for your fellow human beings! I have a feeling that kid is going far in this world. He's a rare one.

That's pretty amazing, 15 year old or not.

nice story.

That is a story that deserves national attention.

So often, when a boy reaches Eagle at that young, he has been pushed and 'helped' with a lot of the requirements. Reading what this young man took on and accomplished, there is no doubt in my mind he earned everything along the way!
