Meet Owen Wall...
Owen was diagnosed with Ventriculomegaly of brain while still in utero, essentially meaning he had a larger volume of fluid on his brain than normal. This lead to the brain not fully developing as it should. Owen's primary diagnosis is Cerebral Palsy. He has motor delay and lacks physical ability of his peers due to this. In addition, Owen has visual impairments which include low lids and a "lazy eye" and needs his vision corrected with glasses. Finally, Owen has a general cognitive delay compared to kids his age and is working through learning and behavior goals while navigating ADHD.
Owen loves all sports but he eats, sleeps, and breathes baseball!! He loves cheering for his two favorite teams, the Atlanta Braves and Baltimore Orioles. He also enjoys supporting local college teams and the Carolina Disco Turkeys. He has visited 8 different MLB ballparks and has seen 17 different MLB teams play.
Owen is also his sister's biggest fan when she plays softball, soccer, and basketball. And, in turn, she is his biggest fan during Challengers games and when he competes in Special Olympics events.
"Owen began competing in Challengers through Northwest Forsyth Little League in the fall of 2021 and has continued there since. This is his first season with Davie Challengers. We are very thankful for this Little League division and all the volunteers and sponsors that make it possible!"
