Alec's At Bat

A fellow CCFA Board Member emailed me about a wonderful piece that was published in the Detroit Free Press by Jeff Seidel. It is the inspirational story of a boy named Alec, who lives in excruciating pain because he suffers from Crohn's disease. Alec lives a life his friends don't understand. When he's not in the hospital getting IV treatments or spending time in a wheelchair, Alec tries to play Little League baseball. He's not very good -- Alec went almost the entire season without a hit -- but he tries, and his coaches didn't hesitate to send him to the plate against the best team in the league in the bottom of the 7th with two outs and two men on. What happened next is like something from a Hollywood script, but better. You'll want to read the whole story by clicking here.
