After participating in Unified Basketball, a basketball program that brings together people with and without intellectual disabilities, Jacob Hallam and his four friends were approached by one of the participant’s mothers. She told them that her son, who had disabilities, loved lacrosse and looked up to his older brother who played, but there was no lacrosse program for him.
At the time, it was just a conversation between five teenagers and a mother who wanted her son to have the chance to play lacrosse. But that conversation lit a spark, and that spark led to so much more.
