Thank you Bob for the excellent work you and Rick Janes are doing with Detours along with the generous support from Sports 'n Spokes. The combined experience and expertise you both possess along with over 30 years covering Para Sport is shown in the quality of your interviews. Your work and the wonderful work NBC(Peacock) did with the coverage of the US Paralympic Track and Field Trials established a new high water mark by a major US Network when it comes to coverage of US Para Sport. In my opinion, Amanda McGrory and her cohorts at NBC did an exceptional job. Using her experience as a Paralympic Gold medalist and as a professional Wheelchair Racer Amanda shed new light on the physical and psychological stress Wheelchair Racers of all classes and disabilities face at the US Track and Field Trials. It's my hope that with your work, as well as what is being done by NBC, America will be ready to host the Paralympics in LA in 2028. We've come a long way but the Paralympic movement has yet to break into the minds of most Americans. Thanks again Bob for coming out of retirement and educating America on these highly skilled athletes who will compete in Paris 2024, LA 2028 and then again in Brisbane 2032. Go Fighting Illini Wheelchair Sports! Go Team USA!
