Paralympic Games 2008

The Olympics have gotten a LOT of press coverage over the past few weeks, which is a good thing. Unfortunately another event that will be held shortly on the olympic grounds in Beijing probably will go unknown by many. The Paralympic Games 2008 will begin on September 6, with a torch relay beginning with a lighting ceremony on August 28th. A lot of information is available about the Paralympic games in general, and this event in particular, on the above linked website. If you are unable to find coverage on tv, there is even a web channel of the games. Check it out - these hard working athletes deserve a loyal fan base as well!!
