In 2006, 12 year old Steven Domalewski was pitching a baseball game when the batter hit a line drive into his chest. The blunt trauma stopped his heart and he needed to be resuscitated. He is now at the Children’s Specialized Hospital in Mountainside, a pediatric rehabilitation hospital.
The 2nd annual Walk for Steven benefit is scheduled for June 1 at the Rifle Camp Park in West Paterson. The cost is $20 for children and $30 dollars for adults with sponsorships available. Please call Shari@973-595-0100 x272 or John@x279 for additional information. For registrations, please call 973-595-0100 x237.
The photo above is by Kevin Armstrong, and it shows the field where Steven was pitching, just 45 feet from home plate. You can read more about Steven and the subject of aluminum bats in this article from the June 2007 issue of Sports Illustrated.
