It occurred to me that some people visiting this site don't know Morgan or his family very well, so I though that I should post some info here to let you know about the special young man that you're helping...Morgan is an eleven year old fifth grader in Henrico County Public Schools. Morgan is mainstreamed with his normally developing peers at school and works very hard to achieve academic success. Morgan has Cerebral Palsy and uses a power wheelchair to get around. Morgan is able to talk, but he also uses a touch screen communication device to help him talk with others.
Morgan's physical condition impacts what he is able to do, but his limitations do not impede his thinking and feeling. Morgan is extremely outgoing and friendly making him very popular at school and in the community. He is often described as charming, sensitive, funny and smart.
Morgan lives at home with his Mom (Shelley) and his baby brother (Gabriel, 2). Morgan loves his family and isn't shy about letting them or anyone else know. He loves being a big brother and can't wait to teach his little brother everything he knows.
Morgan loves movies and television. His favorite thing to watch is wrestling, he is a true and devoted fan of WWE RAW. He says that John Cena and Triple H are his heroes. Coming in a close second are the Power Rangers. For fun Morgan enjoys bowling and racing in his wheelchair. Morgan has competed in the Virginia Victory Games (formerly known as the Rainbow Games) for the past six years. Over that span he has earned several gold medals for bowling, racing and obstacle courses.
This is just a snapshot of Morgan...a well-rounded and happy young man. It would be impossible to capture this child in words, but I hope that at least know you have an idea of who he is. If you'd like to know more, send Morgan an email at morganswish@live.com . He will answer any questions you may have.
Thanks for your time!!
