I would like to thank the Village of Garden City, especially the Recreation Department and Mr. Kevin Ocker, for helping me organize Wheelchair Madness. On Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 22-23, in the Falenga Field House, my friends and I, working with the Greater Long Island Wheelchair Athletic Club, invited 10 student-athlete wheelchair basketball teams for a friendly basketball tournament over the two days. Everyone had a great time and we accomplished what we set out to do - break down barriers between us and physically challenged student-athletes. The camaraderie between all of the student-athletes working together helped make the tournament a success. Thank you to all of the volunteers and Garden City staff who helped make the weekend memorable - by working together we can accomplish anything and everything.
