Children's Lightning Wheels Children’s Lightning Wheels, a Paralympic Sport Club, sponsored by Children’s Specialized Hospit

When founded in 1981, the team was primarily a track and field team, but since that time swimming, archery, table tennis and weightlifting have been added. In 2003, the team embraced athletes whose disability does not require the use of a wheelchair. These athletes may use walkers, crutches, wear orthotics or braces or may have motor planning difficulties. Many of the past and present members of t

he Children’s Lightning Wheels are national record holders in track, field and swimming. Athletic competition is one of the truest tests of the human spirit. Children’s Specialized Hospital is committed to nurturing that spirit in every way possible.

Several members of the team were part of the voting and presentations at the Union Elks Annual Car Show. Awards were presented at the end of the day by Caitlin Goerlich, former team member, and Grace Pagentini, current athlete. Both also had the opportunity to get a close up look at one of the motorcycles and have a short ride around the parking lot. A good time was had by all. Many thanks to the Union Elks for a great day.
