EUNICE KENNEDY SHRIVER
I am saddden again by another pioneer of rights for the Mentally Challenged passing!
When most people talk about their favorite Kennedy they will mention the Former President John F Kennedy, or his wife Jackie, and even their son John Jr but, when my family and I first realized the journey we would take with our son.
We were asked a year or so after Malik enrolled at the Birch School in NYC if he could participate in the Special Olympics with his classmates I learned then of Eunice Kennedy Shriver's creation of the Special Olympics.
She instantly became my favorite Kennedy!
Malik has participated each year since then. He looks forward to the races and the bowling!
On behalf of my family I would like to Thank Mrs. Eunice Kennedy Shriver for thinking of individuals like Malik and realizing they deserve the right to experience the whole team spirit of sportsmanship too ! With all the challenges they face on a daily basis, it's truly a blessing for them to have their own Olympics!!!!
The Special Olympics was created in 1968 and is still going strong in 2009!!!
Mrs Kennedy Shriver was a visionary and a giving person ....she will be missed !!!
May God Bless and Keep her!!!

VERNON FORREST.....RIP!!!!
I just wanted 2take a few moments 2recognize a true champ not only n the ring but, also 4his charitable heart!!!
A few weeks ago Vernon Forrest lost his life in a senseless robbery!!!
I recalled how I first learned of Vernon Forrest's life outside the ring, a couple of years ago during my summer quest for Malik a camp to attend. I saw a program on TV, they did a profile on the young lady who was featured in rapper Big Boi's "I like the way you move" video. The female's name is Ki Toy Johnson (she also happen to be Big Boi's sister in law )
She along w/a few others stared a Organization called Destiny's Child Inc.
I immediately called the organization hoping Malik could get into the summer program. That's when I learned Mr. Vernon Forrest was one of the founding members of the organization.
Although, the program could not accommodate our needs, becuz at the time the organization dealt w/adults with special needs. The organization helped w/daily personal needs of the individuals and offered housing.
It is still a wonderful organization. I continue to check and watch the organization grow each year, I also keep it in my "favorites" on my computer.
So, this news saddens me 2no end .... What a terrible lost to society!!!!!!~~
Not only did his family lose a son, brother, father, and a friend, the World has lost a good MAN with a Wonderful Heart!!!
VERNON FORREST, MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!!!
