Charles Kennedy was a member of our 10U On Deck team a few years ago, and he had to overcome some unimaginable physical and emotional challenges to get back on the field. Charles continues to be an inspiration to us all. For those of you who do not know his story, Charles woke up at 6 o’clock in the morning on August 9, 2014 and couldn’t move his left side. He was taken by ambulance to Levine Emergency Room where they found that he had and a VM which is an arteriovenous malformation. They performed an emergency surgery that day and another one on August 27, 2014. He spent three weeks in the ICU with a title two-month hospitalization at Levine.
Doctors were unsure of Charles prognosis from day one. They weren’t even sure he would live through the first few days of his hospitalization. He walked and played with a brace for a while, but he was determined to get back on the baseball field, and he did!
