Hi all!
I hope your Independence Day was just as fantastic and memorable as mine was! 
The festivities continued on until late last night, what a crazy weekend. The parade was super fun, a beautiful tradition that involved the whole community. I took this pic from atop of the pier…and keep in mind, this is just one small strip of the miles long of shoreline in HB You can imagine just how many people were really here over the weekend. I love my hometown
Huntington Beach shoreline, south side of the pier.
Here is also a pic of me and my sisters and mother dearest
<3
So yep, in a nutshell that’s by weekend..beach, friends, family, fireworks, and food! I hope you guys enjoyed yourself as much as I did.
On another topic….my dad is thinking about doing a fundraider (in September-ish) for UCP (possibly UCP-OC) through our gym, and have clients of The Training Spot support the cause of raising money for this organization. Without him having to tell me, I know that my dad h0lds a special place in his heart for others like myself with CP as he recalls the past with me. He and my mother have been my number one supporters from the moment I was born. I would love to help my parents succeed in this fundraiser in honor of not only their undying love and support toward me, but in honor of all the peoples lives who are affected by Cerebral Palsy. If you have a sister, a mother, a son or daughter with CP, I am sure you know this feeling, this want to help others. I would love to get word out…if any of you have any ideas that we can incorporate for this event we are so very open to ideas! I would like to promote this fundraiser on TCP as well, as I feel touched that my dad would like to get others in our community involved in the community with disabilities. It will be a very personal experience for me, as many clients of our gym know who I am and know that I don’t let my CP stop me from reaching or surpassing my goals in life. I see my CP as not a physical disablity, but more like a challenge. Everything may take more work, but I am never one to limit myself. I feel a loss of pride when I give up, or give into the help of others who underestimate my physical abilities. So I would like to take this opportunity to say that I would be so grateful if any of you TCP readers would either like to participate in this upcoming fundraiser, or know other ways to publisize this event. More to come hopefully, in the next few weeks…Just thought I’d throw a few words out there on this potential fundraiser!
Enjoy your week, hope you are well.
