Our Story of the
Year for 2007 was an easy choice. With over 2 million
downloads, The Amazing Kyle Lograsso has touched the hearts
of countless visitors around the world. It is a story of
hope, courage, and love.
On a personal
note, may I share my recent conversation I had with Kyle's
dad, Jeff. He said that the original video was put up on the
web for family and friends. Apparently, it was one of those
friends who sent us the story and from there it spread
around the globe. As a result of all this attention, Kyle
received a letter and gifts from his idol, Tiger Woods. (See
below) He met and flew in Greg Norman's personal helicopter,
and recently met many of golf's big names at PGA tournament.
Even more
heartwarming is the fact that Kyle's journey is helping to
save lives through awareness of his rare condition. Jeff has
even heard from parents who said they took their child in
for diagnosis just in time to save their life. This
awareness is now the Lograsso's mission. Jeff and Regina
Lograsso can be proud of how they are raising Kyle and his
siblings with their love and devotion.
I invite you to
take a few moments from your busy schedule and get a glimpse
of what life is all about. God is truly working through this
amazing little boy.
You are the best
golfer in the world. I can't wait to beat you.
I love you,
Kyle

Hello everyone.
This is Jeff Lograsso, Kyle's dad. I must say Kyle was a very
happy young man on his birthday. The putter that Byron and
Andrew sent is amazing. I took Kyle out on this past Tuesday
and just the confidence he has with it is a sight to see. I
joked with him saying he is only putting great b/c it has my
name on it. To which he replies "It says Kyle, Dad... not
Caddy!" I never laughed so hard. Anyway it was an amazing
gesture and I could not thank all involved enough. Although he
has been through a lot, he continues to amaze me and his mom,
Regina. He will soon be featured on HBO real sports, and the
best part of all this is he has no clue. He just wants to play
golf. Thank you again to everybody who has passed his story
around. I will keep you all updated on Kyle.
Semper Fidelis....
Jeff Lograsso.
"Kyles caddy"
(Update:
Kyle also received a personal note from his idol: Tiger
Woods.) You rock, Kyle!
Don't Let Go Of Your Dream
The people in this
video clip didn't know it, but their lives were
about to change forever. The look on the last woman's face is
classic. Most touching is the woman who sits on her front step
and cries tears of joy as she holds her daughter tightly. Dreams
come true.
