Endeavor Games - Oklahoma City

Last weekend I got to witness the most heart warming experience in probably my entire life. My best friend Chantell's son Payton was born with a birth defect at 13 months his leg was amputated above the knee. Payton is an amazing kid he golfs, plays baseball and can run faster than kids with two legs. Last weekend Payton ran in the Endeavor Games, this is his 3rd year of participating in these games. Payton ran the 60 meter, 100 meter, 200 meter, 400 meter and did the softball throw. He received 5 gold medals. Yeah Payton, we are so proud of you. Here is a video I took of the 60 meter dash, he is the blonde boy who wins the race. But watch the rest of the kids... this is why I was so touched. They have so much more courage than I do.
