Paralympics begin soon!
Olympic fever has begun! My family spent much of the weekend watching the athletes brave the bitter winter conditions in PyeongChang. And while the Olympics will wrap up on the 28th, just two weeks later, the 2018 Paralympics will begin in the same city. The Paralympic games will run from March 9th through the 18th and will feature more than 600 athletes from nearly 50 countries competing in six sports.
