They Will Skate Again 5/5/2012 Irving, TX

On Saturday the fifth we took Elijah to an event called They Will Skate Again.  It is hosted by Life Rolls On and was organized and presented in part by Rise Adventures. The event happened at the skate park at Lively Pointe Youth Center.

Here is the bear being fitted with helmet and pads to prepare for a fun day! Today's event centers entirely around skating. LRO also holds watersports events that feature water skiing, kayaking and many other activities!

An amazing group of volunteers included local teens, corporate volunteers, and local skaters. They guided participants up and down ramps, and those more independently mobile got chances to handle the park on their own!

                                                                                                                               

Elijah got to meet Aaron Fotheringham, Pro wheelchair skater!

Bear had the best time! We'll definitely catch this next time!
