__________________________________________________________________________ Paralyzed Athlete Olympic
Comeback
As a teenager, Cheryl Angelelli of Fraser, MI, was an up-and-coming swimmer
with Olympic hopes and dreams, until her life drastically changed. On February
4, 1983, while practicing a new racing dive, she hit her head at the bottom of
the pool and broke her neck. The accident left her a quadriplegic and forever
changed the course of her life, but not her dreams. Angelelli's inspiring comeback story is the focus of a new documentary
entitled, Untold Dreams: The Cheryl Angelelli Story. Untold Dreams chronicles
Angelelli's life, from a teenager struggling to deal with the sudden onset of a
disability, to her comeback as an internationally ranked disabled swimmer and
her dream of standing on the medal podium at the 2004 Paralympic Summer Games in
Athens, Greece. The Paralympics is the equivalent to the Olympics for elite athletes with
physical disabilities. Over 4,000 athletes from 125 countries competed in the
2004 Paralympic Summer Games in Athens. However, since the United States is one
of the only countries that does not televise the Paralympics, these athletes
accomplishments virtually go unrecognized, their stories, their dreams are
untold. I hope this film helps create more awareness about the Paralympics and
educates society about the many abilities of persons with disabilities not only
in sports but also in life, says Angelelli. Untold Dreams was produced in cooperation with the Athlete' s with
Disabilities Hall of Fame and the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan. Untold Dreams has recently been released on DVD and VHS. For more

__________________________________________________________________________ Hello everyone in adapted aquatics
I would like to thank the NCPAD staff, Amy, Cheeri, Jim and many others and
JoAnne Suomi, Ann Hughes, Diane Craft and the staff at IL Center for Rehab and
Education (Susan Devitt) for putting together the Teacher of Adapted Aquatics
(now titled AAALF Adapted Aquatics Instructor) Credential Course during the
AAHPERD. Please put the NCPAD site on your FAVORITES and go to it often!!
www.ncpad.org
Please go to this link and then browse around backwards to watch Ann Hughes do
a "Monica Lepore and Camp Abilities Favorite" way to end a swim session!!!!
At this time, FYI, the Lepore, Gayle, and Stevens text book is undergoing a
second edition revision. If you have digital photos to send and would do a
photo release that I can send to you, please send photos or interesting info
that you want to see included in the text.
It should be out in a year from now.
By mid/late Summer Sprint Aquatics, AAALF, and Human Kinetics will be
distributing a new 30 minute DVD/Video entitled "Introduction to Adapted
Aquatics". I am not sure of the price right now but in the $30 category for a
DVD. If you purchase it through AAAHPERD bookstore as an aahperd member there
will be a discount. Wherever you purchase it from, 10% will go to AAALF
Adapted Aquatics!!! coool....
I just finished shooting the video in California this weekend!!! Lots of work
to go to edit, put together, fix the script and jive it to the pictures. It
will not be perfect, but I think you will all like it. There will hopefully
even be a part that shows it is not ALL roses!!
If you are a master teacher of adapted aquatics and will be upgrading your
credential to the new materials, you will receive this DVD free to use as a
mandatory part of the Adapted Aquatic Instructor course.
I hope you have a wonderful summer...
