You don’t know what the parents' raising children with special needs go through until you step into their shoes, Stephanie Davis explains. Stephanie is the Vice President of The Miracle League, a special baseball league where kids with disabilities get to play sports alongside their peers while their families cheer them on. “It all stemmed from me being able to play youth sports growing up,” Stephanie shares. She reveals the impact of providing a space where kids with special needs not only participate in sports, but gain confidence, build their self-esteem, learn the lessons of teamwork, and do something they never dreamed possible. Besides hosting local, hometown events, The Miracle League organizes a yearly All-Star Event where children travel to a new destination and play ball!
