Kid Does It All


Adam lost his leg to cancer when he was 1 year old. Now he is 8, and is playing baseball. Adam has played flag football and soccer.
Adam Bender slips a chest protector over his Astros jersey, buckles a shinguard to his right leg, positions a mask atop his head, grabs his catcher's mitt and hops out of the dugout.
Adam is amazing to watch. He takes his position behind the plate, resting on his right knee.
Adam has been, and continues to be, an encouragement to other kids. Nothing can stand in the way if one is determined to give his all and do his best. He is an inspiration to us all.
