Re: another Celebrity List

[Guest guest]

I know San Giacomo has a son with Cerebral Palsy. She is a big time

activist for children with special needs education. She is very involved with

getting charter schools to have Inclusion/Mainstream classrooms. I heard that

she got the first one opened in California, where her son Mason attends now,

in a Mainsteam/Inclusion classroom.

Mellanby plays for the St. Louis Blues. He has a charity called the

Mellanby Autism Foundation. What specifically they do, or what they raise

money for, I am not sure. But I certainly think it would be worth

contacting him, or his foundation. There was no link to his web site

directly from www.StLouisBlues.com

Good Luck and keep up the great work.

Hi - San Giacomo's son has very severe Cerebral Palsy, but based on what
