Here's Those Links We Talked About

During the course of talking to my brother Drew on the Walk and Roll Live podcast we mentioned a few links to various websites.  One was the Access Leisure program in Sacramento, CA for disabled accessible activities. Here is that link... http://www.accessleisuresac.org/  We also were talking about Power Soccer, a game played in powered wheelchairs. Here's that link... http://youtu.be/CDgEt7rCweo. We mentioned an accessible baseball field in Sacramento where everyone could play the national past time. Check that out here... http://youtu.be/O7LfEVAjSEw.
Thanks for listening to the podcast, more on the way soon at www.walkandrolllive.com.
Drew talked about the Director of the Access Leisure program, her name is Annie Desalernos.

We did it!  We finally found time in our busy schedules to sit down and record the second half of the conversation with my brother Drew Vincent. If you don't know, we both contracted Polio when we were young and shared the experience togther for the last 55+ years. We bring those experiences to the podcast at www.walkandrolllive.com. I shared my story and then we got to hear my brother Drew's story and see where the stories intersected.  Check out the latest installment on the website and be listening for more interviews on the disabled comminity coming soon.
