Cleveland woman raising money for city's own Miracle League

CLEVELAND, Tenn. — A Cleveland woman is working to turn her family's dream into a reality by raising money for a Miracle League in Cleveland.

Miracle League gives children with special needs the chance to play baseball.

Carolyn Kimsey says that her son is her motivation.

He's 10 years old with Down syndrome and cerebral palsy.

Kimsey says the traditional baseball setting wasn't the right fit for him.

Kimsey's son loves watching Chattanooga's Miracle League, but she says that it's time for him to step off the sidelines and onto the field.

In order to make this happen, Kimsey is raising money.

Bradley County has already approved for her to use the area beside the Elrod Park ballfields, but Kimsey says she will need about $2.5 million to pay for the new League.

Her plan is to apply for multiple grants.

She is also selling T-shirts, coffee and more. You can find more details on their Facebook page.
