Sunday was incredibly emotional as we watched the NBC Special together with a few friends in our home. Marin was alert and comfortable and she wore a smile for the entire hour and a half. The show was amazing and the segment that featured Marin ran at the end of what was already a very emotional 90 minutes. This program captured the spirit of the Paralympics perfectly with a tapestry of stories that brought out the unique blend of human drama, adversity, and excellence in athletics that defines disabled athletes. The producers told Marin's story beautifully and reliving our experience in Beijing was heartwarming for us. It was neat to see Camie and Mike in their cheering mode along with Nancy & Aunt Jojo. The program left us full of pride and very grateful that Marin was able to persevere and fulfill her dream and that we were able to go along to share this amazing journey with her. After the show aired I wrote to the producers and photographer that worked on her piece to thank them for doing such a great job, and now we also want to publicly thank all our family, friends, neighbors, and supporters from afar that have done so much to help Marin and our family enjoy this experience of a lifetime. The guestbook entries here exploded with kind messages after the show and reaffirmed how much of an affect Marin has had on the lives of others. This is important to us. Now we're looking forward to the coverage on Universal Sports which begins Monday.

To continue the theme of having a positive affect, we are also very proud that the Hurley clothing company has taken on Marin's spirit and is producing a line of knit beanie's with the tag "Hurley by Marin". The web site http://www.hurley.com/ has the story and information on how you can purchase the hats. Our share of the proceeds will go to Marin's favorite charities. Check it out, we're very impressed with the web page.

Have a wonderful week,

Marin & Nancy, Matt, Camlyn & Michael
