While Alan may have a special gift for bowling, he openly admits that he has nothing on his 13-year-old mentee, *Miles, when it comes to basketball. “He is an awesome basketball player; he kicks my butt every time we play,” said Alan. Since August 2023, Alan has been visiting Miles weekly through the Cornerstones of Care mentorship program.
