I experienced a proud dad moment this week as I sent my second oldest son on the journey of a lifetime. He boarded a plane to the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado, preparing for the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris this summer. This moment marks the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance.
Morgan’s journey began long before this flight. From countless early morning practices to overcoming various challenges, his commitment to swimming, his dreams and especially his faith has been unwavering. Watching him grow and develop into the athlete he is today has been an incredible experience.
For those interested in learning more about Morgan’s story and the path that led him to this point, Clayton Freeman of the Florida Times-Union wrote a wonderful article detailing his journey. You can read it here.
