Rising Star - Jason Regier
Jason Regier is another quad rugby player (aka murderball). He is an exceptional picker and really shines on the court. He is one the elite players who will be seen in Beijing next summer.
We can give Jason at least partial credit for where this sport is today. His love for quad rugby not only shows on the court but also in his tireless efforts to promote it.
Murderball isn't the only movie promoting quad rugby. The Goal is a drama which highlights quad rugby in the story of one player.
If you haven't seen a quad rugby game, you're missing out!
Good luck Jason and Chance!

Shaklee Sponsors Arctic Explorer Will Steger's Latest Expedition on Climate Change
This is an unusual sport to list on The Starting Blocks, but extreme exploration takes the same physical, emotional and mental aspects as any serious athlete. Will Steger is one of those who speaks softly but carries a great big stick. If the political aspects of global warming don't appeal to you, Will Steger's message may.

In Fond Memory of Art Levy
Art Levy, a co-founder of "The Starting Blocks", passed on September 4, 2007. He held the DPS record in the 100-yard dash at 9.6 and a record in the 220-yard dash of 20.9. A true athlete as well as a true friend. He would break all records running to your side when you needed him.
Family was his priority. He was always the one with the annoying cell phone in a meeting, or at the movies. If any of his children or grandchildren were in distress, the movie could wait, the meeting was over.
Art had a wonderful career working with children at Denver Parks and Rec. In his spare time, he ran track and field programs. In his spare, spare time he worked with individuals as a Shaklee Independent Distributor, hoping to "improve their game". He was a mentor to everyone he met. He was loved and cherished by everyone.
His 5 beautiful daughters, eleven grandchildren, and many more to come are left with his legacy.
We are honored to have known and worked with Art Levy. We wish all of you could have known this wonderful, gentle person. This blog is dedicated to Art Levy, and was begun in memory of him and his passion.
He will be greatly missed.
