Here Is 1 More Reason You Should Never Give Up

Last updated on May 20th, 2010 at 08:53 am

This week’s motivational video features Jason McElwain, a young man with autism who made national news in 2006 Jason McElwainwhen he played for four minutes during a high school basketball game and scored twenty points.

McElwain had a passion for basketball, so Greece Athena High School basketball coach Jim Johnson appointed him manager of the team.  He is this weeks inspiration.

My mother always says, “Catherine – anything can change in a day – just one little day.”

Keep on dreaming –
