"On a personal note, I had a special needs brother who has since passed away.  As a teenager I spent many hours serving him and other special needs individuals in Special Olympics and other recreational activities.  It changed my life to feel of their love and have the opportunity to serve."

"I am a Special Olympics Volunteer because it is my way of giving the community a reason to never give up, especially when these athletes don't."
