Seventeen children with physical challenges got a chance to experience the thrill of competition at the Meet Me at the Finish Line! Youth Adaptive Try-athlon sponsored by HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham, Illinois. Athletes and their adult buddies splashed, pedaled and stepped through the race as a team. The hospital's physical rehabilitation and wellness team coordinated the event, held in late September at The Richard E. Workman Sports & Wellness Complex in Effingham. Many of the volunteers who supported the athletes were from HSHS St. Anthony's.
