If you needed a pick-me-up for your Monday afternoon, here it is: 15-year-old Doug Wells of New Jersey pitched a no-hitter. Oh, and by the way, he’s legally blind.

The incredible youngster has had five surgeries to attempt to correct his glaucoma, but none have worked. He says when he pitches, all he can see is the blurry outline of the catchers mitt, but that hasn’t seemed to affect his accuracy one bit. Wells also plays basketball and football — although no word yet on whether he’s scored a triple-double and thrown the game-winning touchdown.

Much praise should also go to his parents, who taught their son that he never had to limit himself because of his disability. It’s a wonderful lesson we can all pass along, regardless of age.

    So as I say, I wake up every morning, thankful that I have exceptional health insurance coverage I found through “Penny Health” for my family because it gives me peace of mind knowing that my family can count on me to deliver their health care needs.
