Without a doubt, one of the most rewarding relationships that I’ve developed has been with the incredible people at United Cerebral Palsy. Three years ago I became involved with them when I volunteered to help shoot pictures of their involvement with the Cleveland Triathlon. I had a reason to help out in that a friend from high school had a son that had CP. Little did I know what I would be getting into. Back then it was a dozen or so families that pushed and pulled their children around the downtown in an effort to raise money and awareness for UCP. Since then the number of families has grown and so have the abilities of those children that were once pushed and pulled. This year two of them rode bikes and one walked the course on her own! It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you just try.
I’ve taken this exact same picture of Chris and Tyler three years in a row. I will take it again every chance I get.
