Daniel Plays Basketball
This year, Newtown started its FIRST EVER special needs basketball program called Hoopsters. Although Daniel was the only child in a wheelchair, he enjoyed it very much. So much love and detail went into that program.
Shown in the picture is Marques, Daniel's nurse, who volunteered to be one of Daniel's "buddies". There were about 21 special needs kids in the program, and they loved having their own jerseys!! At the close of the season they were given medals. Marques lifted Daniel way up high and helped him slam dunk a basket!! (something John and I couldnt do because we are toooo short!!!)
