Best Buddies is absolutely SUCH an incredible organization! I always love it when I get the chance to work with them and hang out with all of the buddies! :) During this event at the Tom Brady Football Challenge, I got to cheer on all of the buddies as they played a game of football with some of the Patriot's football players! I also got to "hand out" awards with Tom Brady, I met wide receiver Julian Edelman, Jarod Mayo, Guy Fieri from the food network, 9 times Olympic gold athlete in track and field- Carl Lewis, his son Bakim Lewis (in the music industry), and Lauren Potter from Glee! How cool is that?!
Not only did I just enjoy helping out at the Tom Brady Football Challenge, the following day I also got to participate in the 20 mile bike ride to raise awareness and support Best Buddies! There was SUCH a good turn out and I cannot describe the wonderful feeling that I got from doing this for them. And to see everybody in the community and who traveled far- all coming together for this amazing organization was just heart warming. Not to mention people who lived in the community would take time out of their day just to cheer on all the supporters and to keep them going!
At the one mile to go mark (a point that you feel like death and can't feel anything on your body), you are tired and trying to push yourself to the finish line. It was SO helpful and made me SO happy to see a little girl at that one mile to go mark with her dad and a table next to her handing out free waters to all of the bikers. That is something I will never forget! (And yes, I took a water ;p)
Everyone who was a part of the Tom Brady Football Challenge!
