“Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much.” – Helen Keller
It all started with a tragedy and that tragedy transformed into a passion for bringing the OCR community together and bring OCR to underserved populations.
Personally, I feel like both are a force and an inspiration. They truly care about the sport and the people in it. They are also so driven to bring OCR to the next generation. It’s hard not to be in awe of their commitment.
