Although their adopted son, Donald, 20, suffers from Cerebral Palsy, that hasn't stopped adoptive father, Michael Harms, from running long-distance events with Donald, utilizing their customized racing wheelchair. When they participate in these events, they raise money for Ainsley's Angels of America, an organization that helps people with special needs participate in endurance events.
The Harms family, in Manassas, Virginia were featured in a cover story of the Novant Health quarterly magazine, Healthier Together and Novant Health website.
