Last Sunday, the Corvette Club provided rides at the annual Spina Bifida Picnic to people with this issue and family members.
I had 3 different riders who all seemed to enjoy themselves. One little guy told me this was his 2d ride and the blue C2 that was behind us was much faster than my C4. A 5 year old told me she was going to have one of 'these' cars when she's older. This was my 2d year volunteering as a driver and I'll be doing it for as long as the car and I are able to. If you ever get the chance to do something like this, please do as it's well worth the time to do it. |

That's a good way to spread the "corvette fever" to the younger generation!

Like I mentioned this was my 2d year for driving. Last year I drove an older lady that suffered from Spina Bifida. She told me that this picnic and getting rides in Corvettes is the high point of most of the kids year. The smiles and joy they showed made it so heart-warming. What I did was insignificant, all I did was share my passengers seat. I'm lucky, my kids and granddaughter are healthy and aren't saddled with this disability. Other than the crutches, braces and wheelchairs, you wouldn't know these kids were any different than my kids and granddaughter.
The person that arranged the meeting and rides is the one that deserves the praise. He did all the work, all I did was provide a passenger seat. Like I've said, if you get the chance to do something like this, please do. You'll get so much more than what a little gas will cost you. |
