When I started my journey to bring awareness to Cerebral Palsy , it wasn’t to bring attention to me. It was to bring attention to CP I’ve had some wonderful opportunities and some great platforms to share my message of Inclusion and Opportunity for those living with a disability especially those who are affected by the disability Tonight I got to share a moment with pitching coach @Andrew_Bailey37. Coach’s daughter is also living with CP and he is donating $500/K to CP charities Tonight my family whe a guest of Coach Bailey and got to witness batting practice on the field at the cathedral of baseball @fenwaypark I also go to talk with Andrew about CP and my mission, as very little baseball was spoken. Instead we talk about a disability the affects our families Coach Bailey is doing a great thing brining awareness to CP. He is using his platform to bring awareness to something he feels strongly about and should be commended for it!! @RedSox @MLB @yourcpf @LouMerloni @jasonbenetti @TheRealJPap58 @NESN @ButchStearns @BostonBBJournal @BGlobeSports @BosHeraldSports @Buster_ESPN @espn

Been waiting for this week. Wasn’t sure if I get here but I did! While it’s been a while since I’ve seen a Dr, a PT,or OT for my Cerebral Palsy They are the ones that helped me as child realize I could still lead an active lifestyle even with CP! Huge shout out to @oofos and @FitBitUs for being apart of this journey! 100k It’s a TEAM effort!

As I was on my daily walk, I realized that my disability doesn’t take a summer vacation, so why should I? I have some exciting opportunities this week to continue advocating for CP and sharing my story to help bring awareness to CP and praying for another opportunity!! “ I don’t want the world to see me cuz I don’t think they understand. When everything is made to be broken I just want you to know who I am” - Goo Goo Dolls

Feeling blessed. This morning I was made aware that I was featured in the May/June Sportorial. This is an IAABO publication about officiating basketball Every time my story is told, I never want it to be about me because I am comfortable with who I am. However, I do want my story to get eyes because there are others that may not be as comfortable around me or in their own skin! I have assignors that refuse to use me and coaches who don't want me in games because of my disability. However, I continue to work high level basketball despite my disability. Going to the State Semi-Finals 2x, an alternate at The TD Garden 1x, and many high level games around Mass. iaabo.org/sportorials/ The true disabled are those who won't include people with disabilities and give them opportunities! @54Board @IAABO @NBA @espn @celtics @OfficialNBARefs @NBAOfficials @MIAA033

So this popped up in my memories today. Living in Boston THIS is the ONLY Yankee item that will ever hang in my house. This is a case where you root for the guy despite laundry! When @Bos25Sports @ButchStearns and I talked we talked about how important of a role @jabbottum31 played in my love for baseball and sports in general. However it didn’t make the cut. However his lessons still are with me today as I take the field or court. Yes having Cerebral Palsy I have my fair share of adversity, but nothing like trying to explain to people why a Yankee jersey hangs in my man cave 😀 Go @RedSox

Another 90,000 steps this past week. Not bad for a guy with Cerebral Palsy This time last year, I became very stagnant after basketball season. I was very tired and after officiating close to 40 Varsity games I felt my body reacting differently. That is when I decided to start my daily walks sometime around June 1 of last year. This year I’m not as tired however because of the amount of steps I’ve been putting in my body is sore. Yes some of that is due to old age and some because of the CP. While many would think it would be side that is affected by the CP. It’s more of my left side that is giving me the aggravation. Because of my gait and my limp there is a lot of compensation going on my left side, which affects my lower back, my glutes and my hamstrings I was able to get a Thai body massage from Heather Morgan Wellness at Tag Team Fitness & Tag Team Wellness which was a life saver There are not many days I go without being pain free but through PT and some massage therapy I am able to function and reach some goals If anyone would like to help me reach some goals feel free to reach out @Nike @Reebok @hoka @newbalance @yourcpf @UCPBoston @FitbitSupport

Know the situation @RedSox would have had runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Fly ball gets the tying run in We are seeing bad baseball as Red Sox fans

Reminder that we draw a winner for this one TONIGHT!! Just RT the tweet below this one and make sure you’re following. Stoked to paint this retro Sox logo. I’ve only done it once before and it was in the early days of me cutting & painting, so it’s been a bit. Good luck!
Sox won the series so we’re doing another giveaway, this time we’re gonna go with the vintage hanging Sox mini-logo! See the reference photo below (this isn’t cut or painted yet) RT & follow for a chance to win! Winner will be picked the evening of the off day, 5/21! Good luck!

All any of us can ask for is opportunity. I would embrace to opportunity to talk to your camp, your team, your organization or your business! Want to talk about how to overcome adversity? Want to talk about how important inclusion is? Want to talk about how to stay involved doing something you love? I’m not famous or anything like that. I just like helping others by telling my story!! @CoachRobFB @WPIFootball @mbcaorg @ButchStearns

I been working hard for a while now. There are days that my muscles are tight but am extremely grateful I am to walk even if it with a significant limp.

Think about how much could be raised for the Jimmy Fund if Red Sox players implemented self imposed team fines If you can’t get a runner in scoring position in with less than two outs you are fined Another solid pitching performance spoiled by lack of run support

Last night I went to the golf simulator and I posted my best score ever shooting an 80. (38-42) It reminds me that although I may have a disability it doesn’t stop me from doing things that I love and achieving new milestones How cool would this look on your bag? So when you on the 12th and already gone through two sleeves of balls let this serve as a reminder that you can achieve anything and you should be playing the cheaper balls! Who wants one of these beauties!! @yourcpf @ButchStearns @UCPBoston @UCPnational
