AN ANDREW UPDATE
My nephew Andrew,. above, competing recently in Park City Utah
My nephew, Andrew Haraghey, continues his quest to qualify for the Paralympics to be held in 2018 in South Korea in the Alpine Downhill racing category. Andrew did just qualify for the World Cup races next month in Aspen , Colorado
Andrew developed Cerebral Palsy shortly after his birth. Despite his diagnosis, Andrew has worked to overcome his challenge and is an amazing skier and inspiration to many.
Andrew's quest does not come without a price tag. The expenses for travel, training and equipment, as well as entrance fees for events, can add up. A portion of those costs have been defrayed by a Children's book my sister Sheryl wrote about her son Andrew. The book was also illustrated by my sister and it has been well received, the second printing of the book came out last week. You can find out more at ":Andrew can Ski... Even with CP" check it out here http://andrewcanski.com/
The Enfield Elks is going to help again with a Pasta dinner & dance fundraiser to help Andrew's efforts. Save the date... May 14. More on this as details are developed.
You can find out more about Andrew and his quest at http://andrewraces.com/ a link to his "go fund me" page is there also, or click here https://www.gofundme.com/andrewraces
UPDATE: From Andrew's Facebook page this afternoon;
I just wanted to update everyone on the happenings so far, as I haven't posted in a while. I've been plenty busy, with competing in Canada in November, resulting in qualifying for World Cups in Speed events while achieving a 3.7 GPA at Westminster College for the fall semester. I then went on to compete in races throughout North America, where I ended up earning a silver medal in both the Super G, and Slalom at Whiteface resort. Through all my hard work, and the support of everyone around me, I have qualified for the World Cup Speed events in Aspen, Colorado later this month, as well as being wild carded into the World Cup tech event at Aspen as well.

ANOTHER RESPONSE TO A COMMENT
February 9, 2016 at 7:30 PM
February 9, 2016 at 8:34 PM
The two comments above were received Monday night. The comments provoked me to find out more. Apparently, the new medical kits were ordered to outfit Hartford Police cruisers with new medical bags . The bags also contain technology and equipment used by the US Military for lifesaving efforts, particularly to deal with shootings and severe trauma. The packets apparently use technology that provides clotting agents to gunshot wounds and definitely have proven beneficial in saving lives.
HPD personnel were trained in the use of the equipment , from what I am told by sources , in August. The lifesaving equipment has sat in a classroom at the Police Academy ever since, never being distributed to front line units in the field. I am unable to understand what would motivate anyone to withhold such important equipment from being put into service as soon as it was available. Does the person playing games have a conscience?
Never being distributed to units in the field, until today that is. Once I began asking questions and trying to gather answers as to why lifesaving equipment was gathering dust at the Academy, things began to happen. This morning, all HPD Patrol units from the midnight shift were ordered to report to the Police Academy to be outfitted with their new medical equipment. From what I am told, all HPD line units are tonight fitted with new lifesaving equipment, including the clotting factor and specialized trauma bandages specially designed to deal with gunshot wounds.
Keep the comments coming in, they do make a difference. In this case possibly with lifesaving results.
And I also received a question about the oxygen tanks with the kits freezing
According to information on-line,the tank its self. it can feel frozen. but wont break when dropped. if you mean the oxygen itself. . . yes oxygen can freeze. all elements have a freezing point. Oxygen has a freezing point of -368.77 °F. I don't think the temperature is predicted to get anywhere near that this weekend, but maybe one of the Deputy Chiefs knows better
