Testimonials
“It is hard to express how important this day was for our kids and families. For the strangers looking in, it looked like friends just having fun; for me and a few of the parents it was magical and heartwarming knowing what we knew. Allow me to try and explain; starting with J. J was diagnosed 3 years ago with leukemia. Watching J play was incredible, I can’t count the number of times J wold be rushed to MUSC with a fever, be hospitalized for several days, be released and by the time he reached home (2 hrs away) his fever would have returned and he would be transported back to MUSC. I watched when J came off the field in tears from being hit by a paintball…. take a few minutes to recover and race back to play again… like a normal kid! As J always says, “Today was the best day EVER!!!” J had the most amazing time today with his friends paintballing.“”
