Sam Kavanagh, the dear friend who is Blake Samuel's namesake, received word today that he was chosen for the 2012 Paralympic team and is London-bound! The same avalanche that claimed big Blake's life also shattered Sam's leg to a degree that made amputation the best choice for his activity level and drive for life.
Sam's taken his crazy passion for seizing life by the horns and getting every. last. drop. out of it and surpassed anyone's expectations. I'm so proud of him, I'm so thrilled for his family, and I'm so honored to call them friends.
Sam, Sarah, Amelia, and Nolan: you have what it takes. You've paid a high price to become one of the most encouraging families I know, which doesn't slow and of you down a bit. I love you dearly and wish very much that I could celebrate in person with you right now.
