Description

At the 34th National Veterans Wheelchair Games, this athlete was dropping off his chair for a 'tune-up.' I saw this pair several times during the week, mostly in the hallways of the Convention Center (Philadelphia). Also photographed them together in the Opening Ceremonies. In this shot, the little boy has just been crying and the tears are still visible on his face.
