Just last night my 5 year old daughter asked me if we could watch the Olympics. She was sad to hear that they were over. She will be thrilled to hear that the London 2012 Paralympic Games are starting today!

The International Paralympics Committee (IPC) will be showing 780 hours of live action via www.paralympic.org, so check out the action and continue cheering for Team VISA Athletes. 

US Team Visa athletes Jessica Long will be swimming in a number of events (almost every day), and Alana Nichols will be competing on Team USA for Wheelchair Basketball.
