The season of giving for Teddy Atlas
Every year at this time, trainer Teddy Atlas hosts the annual Dr. Theodore Atlas Foundation on the Thursday before Thanksgiving. Less than 48 hours later, on Saturday morning, he distributes 800 turkeys with all of the trimmings to make Thanksgiving a special day for hundreds of less fortunate families in New York City.
One of the many lives that Teddy has touched was 22-year-old Joe Cali, who was paralyzed from the neck down, but has been inspired by the Atlas foundation. Joe made this statement to Teddy at last year's dinner "I'm going skydiving, you can join me if you are up for it." A year later, they both met the challenge and indeed went skydiving. -- CASSIDY
