You
Can Become a Member of
Jessica's Support Team

A
portion of all purchases made at the Cafepress
shops will directly benefit Jessica Long and her
family.
Jessica
lives with her parents and four siblings in Baltimore,
Maryland. As a member of the U.S. Paralympic Elite Team
she is planning to compete in the Paralympic Games in
China this year. As you can imagine, she would love
to have her family travel with her to support her and
cheer her on.
Fortunately,
Jessica's travel and accommodations are covered by the
U.S. Olympic Committee and their generous sponsors.
However, as with the families of many disabled athletes,
her parents are burdened with the high costs of international
travel.
Your
purchase of any items through cafepress.com
will help to pay for airfare and accommodations for
Jessica's family. Your support will enable the family
of Jessica Long to share this incredible experience
with their daughter and sister.
From
the Desk of
Steve & Beth Long
We want to say thank you, but where do we begin?
It's difficult to express how grateful we are
for everyone who is supporting Jessica. We are
truly amazed at how family, friends and the community
are coming together to provide us with finances,
publicity, well wishes, and prayers.
It is only God who can take an abandoned Russian
baby with birth defects and turn her into an elite
Paralympic athlete. However, God uses special
people like you to accomplish His plan and I am
glad He brought you into Jessica's life.
It
is because of your support that Jessica's father,
mother, brother and three sisters will be able
to cheer her on as she competes around the world.
We
want you to know that your support is very much
appreciated. Thank you so much for your generosity.
