Northampton Softball Team Making a Difference

Update:

At the softball teams dinner banquet, Gabby was invited to attend and was honored. She also provided small gifts to each of the players. She is still undergoing treatments and is battling leukemia like a true champion. She is doing fabulous. Gabby also attended a Miracle League game to become an Angel in the Outfield. This is one remarkable young girl. Her mother, father, and sister are just a wonderful, supportive and humble family.

Here is a picture of Gabby with  Alex – the teams record setting pitcher who will be attending Bucknell University in the fall on scholarship, and  with all the graduating seniors. The teams record was 18-6 and lost to the eventual State Champions in the District playoffs.  What an inspirational group of young women!
