With 2007 coming to a close, I would like to submit an excellent feel good story. I found out about this amazing woman at womenssportsblog.com. However, I would like to link to this article for a more complete picture. What an inspiration!
For those who don't want to click on the link, Karen Gaffney is a swimmer with Down's Syndrom who recently swam the length of Lake Tahoe. The article also reports that: "Karen, a 29-year-old from Portland Ore., has a college degree, and is a public speaker advocating the abilities of people with Down syndrome with her own non-profit, The Karen Gaffney Foundation. The swim is aimed at raising money for the nonprofit National Down Syndrome Congress."
