the 14th Annual ARC of Onondaga Race took place at Long Branch
Park in Liverpool.  ARC is an organization that provides
services for people with developmental disabilities.  My mother
has worked with people with developmental disabilities for about
20 years, and I have grown up watching my mom around them.
People often ask me if being around developmentally disabled
people makes me uncomfortable or nervous, and the answer is: Why
should it? People are people, no matter if they are disabled or
not.  People with disabilities can do the same things we can,
just slower or with assisted help, as I have observed.  The ARC
Race gives many others and I an opportunity to do our part to
help the Arc facilities by volunteering. The more volunteers
they have, the more money they are able to raise to give back to
Arc and those it support.
