Toledo Crash Wins Against UT

Hi all!

On Sunday, the Toledo Crash wheelchair football team won its game against The University of Toledo Football Team. Nick played for his second year and was quarterback. He got four touchdowns and most of all, he had a BLAST! He loved it! It's VERY competitive! Congratulations to the entire team! There is an article on The Ability Center of Greater Toledo's website (http://www.abilitycenter.org/) and also, if you are on Facebook, The Toledo Crash have a Facebook page with lots of pictures!

One of the great parts of the day is how blessed we were that we had so many family and friends came to support Nick and the team. We had 22 of our friends/family come to the game and that really meant a lot to us! Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer Nick and the team on! One of the teachers from Nick's school, not one of his teachers, came as well which was SO cool! Nick's former para who has worked with him on and off since third grade, who has dealt with a life-threatening illness over the past year and is still dealing with it, came with us and one of our friends who is living with cancer came. He just had surgery for his cancer the prior month and had only been out once before he came to the game with the rest of his family who are good friends of ours. We think it says a lot and it means a lot to us that everyone came, including these people who have been and are dealing with illness and still came to support Nick! THANK YOU and we love you all! We are just so blessed to have good friends and family. We think over the years, we've made long-lasting, good friends and a small but close group of people who have been on this journey with Nick and us over the past 17 years and a steady part of our lives. We often feel like we get more than we have the opportunity to give to our friends and family, especially when we're dealing with challenges with Nick, and so we know the people in our lives are special and loyal.

After the game, a large group of us went out to eat and I'll say it again, it was just such a nice day! A real "feel good" kind of day!

Congratulations to our niece Maddie who won  several trophies and danced beautifully at a dance competition in Michigan last Saturday. We were lucky to be able to go and watch her dance. She is REALLY a great dancer! We're so proud of her!

So, it was a great weekend for Team Hyndman!

Blessings:)
