Brian Murkison is a 3rd grader at Evansdale Elementary in Dekalb County. In 2011 Brian was a seven year old enjoying playing baseball, soccer, scouts, and everything else that 1st grade boys enjoy doing. An auto accident occurred and once his survival was no longer in question, his rehab and recovery started. He has acquired a Traumatic Brain Injury. Brian learned how to walk, talk, and eat again. A highlight in 2012 was when Brian, along with his brother, was able to run the bases at Turner field in the last regular season home game. That was an amazing feat because Brian was wheelchair bound at the beginning of the baseball season. Brian still has some physical disabilities that leave his left hand and arm with little control. He continues therapy weekly, and continues to progress. A special trip to see the Braves would be a great reward for his hard work. Be warned if you sit next to him. He loves to talk and wish you well. This is amazing, considering he was never supposed to talk again! He is a Braves fan, and looks forward to the 2014 season. Hopefully, he can catch a game in the Superior Plumbing box seat.

Despite his challenges, he has had the ability to participate and compete in a variety of sports (baseball, swimming, bowling, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and tennis) for a number of years with baseball being the longest, 12 years. Charles is happiest when he is playing or competing in sports. He will quickly stick out his hand and give anyone “hi five”…his way of saying “I am HAPPY!” He is a different person because sports helped shape him into the warm and pleasant young man that he is today.

Cheyenne is a 16  yr old Junior at Veterans High, who has pachygyria (smooth brain). Chey (pronounced shy), is a happy child and stays active as much as possible. She attends Camp Dream( a camp for special needs children) every year, and she plays ball every Spring with the Challenger League.  I try to keep her active but until they agree to play ball year around, choices are limited!  To be able to have  the chance to attend her first ball  game would be such a memorable experience!
