The Olympics are gonna be right here in our hometown. Today we're here at the world famous South Park in South Los Angeles. We have 300 kids from local recreation centers, and these kids get to experience some of the Olympic sports that can be held in the Olympics that's gonna be here in three years. We have flag football, we have soccer, we have blind soccer, we have cricket. Here at this event, we have many other sports. Ours is the adoptive section. We're playing blind soccer, a sport that mostly relies on hearing for us to hear the ball. They have eyeshadows that they wear over their eyes, and they listen to the sound of the ball. It's important that we offer programs for both able bodies and individuals, youth with disabilities. I was that kid that was like very in her show, was intimidated by sports. My family doesn't have any sports background whatsoever. Um, and as a personal, like with disabilities, I didn't even know that sports was a possibility for me. I completely changed my life through sports, and play LA is basically just opening the doors for these kids to do the same. Sports has been a part of my life my entire life, and it's just given me so many opportunities, you know, opportunity to represent the United States at the Olympics. The friends that I've met, the lessons that I've learned, it's really shaped me into the person that I am, and I just feel like every kid deserves that opportunity, and so they're getting that chance here today. Even though I have a disability, I can still be active. I can still play sports with my friends. I could still, in a sense, be human like the rest of you guys. I can go out there, be active, just overall have fun. Everybody ready for the big surprise. Are you really ready for the big surprise? All right, here we go. Today, kids will be able to receive uh Olympic medal as well as a pair of tennis shoes. Thanks to our sponsor, Nike and LA28. The 160 million dollars that LA 28 donated to us, it allows all kids regardless of economical background or disabilities to participate in youth sports within Los Angeles. I lived in so many different places, and nowhere have seen a program like this. This is something that is life-changing. If you want to find out more about our play LA program, go to LA Parks.org.

We're talking about our dogs and what we can do to take care of them when it's hot outside. LA Animal Services has some advice for day-to-day dog care in the heat. To protect your dogs during the summer you should make sure that you're not walking them during the mid heat of the day. Walk them early in the morning or in the evening after it's cooled off because the concrete and sidewalks can be extremely hot and can cause burns to your pet. Also make sure that they have plenty of water available to them and if they're outdoors they need to have access to shade or a dog house as well.
