For the Deaf, the script from the Tom Joyner Morning Show has been provided below:
"Hey Tom,
This is Tammy Storm and I just wanted to Thank you again for granting
my Christmas Wish for Chetara back in July of this year. Since receiving
the Christmas Wish Chetara was able to go to Valencia, Venezuela to compete
in the 2007 Pan American Deaf Games. She was the only 17 year old high
school student in her competitions. Chetara now wants to compete in the
very FIRST 2008 World Deaf Track & Field Championships in Caracas,
Venezuela & The 2009 21st Summer Deaflympics in Taipei, Taiwan!
I am working with the USA Deaf Track & Field Organization to help
them raise money so that Chetara and 30 or more other Deaf athletes can
compete in these games. We have created a website which is usadtf.org/donations.html
so people can make donations online. The USA Deaflympians don't receive
the same support and sponsorships that the USA Olympians do so we need
all the help we can get.
Thank you!"
