What an exciting adventure for Sim and the rest of us, we can't wait for what the year holds for us!  He is very proud to be taking this on, and he will work hard to make Texas and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals proud.  We also can't wait to meet all the other Champion's in September, but we'll get to know them through these blogs along the way for sure.

Sim was lucky enough to give two speeches again in April to raise money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, and at one of them he had the good fortune to be introduced by CMN Hospitals CEO and president John Lauck, and in between them we had his Champion launch.  He is a Plano, TX resident - born and raised here, so we held it in Plano for him at a place where he LOVES to be at.  He discovered martial arts two months ago, and USA Martial Arts in Plano has been amazing!!  It has been the BEST physical therapy for him that we could have ever had, and we are so lucky to have found this place.  We were thrilled they allowed us to have his launch there.  He was brought to the launch by Plano Police Department's Sergeant of the Year this year Sgt. Lindy Privett.  CMN Hospitals Sponsor Rep Angela Bynum had brought out balloons and a huge smile to show her never ending support of young master Sim, and we are so glad she was there.  Angela arranged for City Councilman Lee Dunlap to come introduce Sim after he finished his martial arts class with little brother Zane and a few of his friends from school who joined in.  Mr. Dunlap had a surprise with him...a proclamation from the Mayor that April 14, 2012 was officially Sim Scott Day in Plano, wow!  Sim gave a short speech to the little crowd who came out to support him, and one person who happened to be there that we didn't know gave Angela a CMN Hospitals donation right there which was a fabulous end to a fabulous morning!

Here is my cell phone video from that windy morning of Mr. Dunlap introducing Sim at the launch
