Support This Inspiring League

7-year-old Hunter Williams loves baseball.   A bright-eyed young man, he doesn’t let the walker he uses for mobility deter him from having fun.   Thanks to Central Texas Ability Sports, he and a lot of kids with disabilities don’t have to.    Last week, I attended the opening day of their baseball season at Memorial Park in Round Rock.   55 athletes, accompanied by their family, friends and supporters were on hand to lend a hand when needed, or just cheer them on.   Central Texas Ability Sports was founded in 2010 by friends John Lorek, Felix Madrid and Travis Duncan.   The league (so far) now has 72 participants.  In addition to baseball, they also enjoy golf, kickball and basketball.  The activity is free and open to anyone.   Right now, however, the focus for April and May is baseball.   The group also wants to build their own special needs adaptive baseball field, but that costs big bucks, about $350,000.   So far, they’ve raised around $132,000.   If you’re looking to give to a really inspirational and deserving bunch, check them out at www.huttochallenger.webs.com
