Adventure 43

September 3 - 7, 2024
San Antonio, Texas

Tennille is 13 and in a Nollie Hard Flip against Congenital hydrocephalus VP shunt, Congenital glaucoma, Cerebral palsy, Epilepsy, mental and physical delay

In Texas where the wildflowers bloom,
Where the Gulf whispers secrets, dispelling all gloom,
A girl in a wheelchair, her spirit so bright,
Set forth on an adventure, chasing the light.

With a sun-kissed smile and heart full of dreams,
She rolled through the sand, where the fish tank gleams,
Her laughter a melody carried by the breeze,
As waves danced around her, a symphony of peace.

With a splash and a dive, the dolphins appeared,
Curious creatures, their joy was unfeared,
Leaping and twirling in the sun’s golden rays,
Inviting her closer to join in their plays.

“Glide through the water!” those dolphins seemed to say,
“Life’s full of wonders, come dance, come play!”
So with a roar of laughter, they splashed side by side,
A bond forged in freedom, with the bottlenose as her guide.

They sailed through the waves, with the sun on her face,
Each moment a treasure, a warm, sweet embrace,
With dolphins as guides, her wheelchair was light,
In the heart of SeaWorld, she soared like a kite.

As the twilight crept in, painting skies deep and wide,
She whispered a promise, with her friend at her side,
“No matter the barriers, I’ll always be free,
For adventure is boundless, just wait—you’ll see!”

A girl in a wheelchair, with dolphins at play,
Shows us that magic can brighten the day.

Tenille and her family went to SeaWorld in San Antonio to swim with th edolphins!
She had a splash of a time!
