Challenger Little League shows the special needs child, as well as the rest of us, that nothing is impossible, as long as the desire is there.   At the Madres monthly luncheons, a child representative from one of the Madres-sponsored teams is an invited guest. This young person sits at the head table, gets to meet the other special guest, and addresses the group.
