“I’ve had my fair share of adversity and challenges, so I get it - there is nothing fun about being fouled! But there is something very rewarding in playing through the foul and overcoming your obstacles. I liken it to scoring the extra free throw that wins the game! My ultimate goal is to fulfill my purpose of being an encourager and a motivator. So I commit myself through my speaking, through my writing and through humor and good works to assist others to focus on their goals and Play Through the Foul to win. In accomplishing this, I win too! ~ Vera Jones
