Meet James Lacerenza a man born 11 weeks prematurely in 1987. I've chosen to write about James as he's not typical of any person as he's remarkable. James has cerebral palsy and has to use a wheelchair but that doesn't stop him. In fact, from what I can tell, nothing can! James is also a senior at UConn Stamford.James is a Pepsi Grant contestant vying for a $50,000 grant to help send kids with MD to camp.
James' Goals
- To send up to 70 children with neuromuscular disease to camp
- To let them have a week of fun at no cost to their families
- To let them see their "disability" does not define them
