For me, what started as accepting an invitation to join the Delta Frozen Flyers in 2010 has grown into a passion, not only for myself, but many others on our team whose hearts have been touched by the athletes and their families supported by the Special Olympics. The testimonials of the athletes are moving...many have shared:
The Special Olympics allows them to be:
Free of their disability;
Free of people judging, teasing, making fun of and bullying them;
Free of people telling them what they cannot do.
They go on to state that for them, "the Special Olympics is an escape, where they can be themselves, where they have value, and that, to have that little bit of inclusion...for that moment, we're equal."
If you have supported in the past, thank you. Please know that your contribution, whether this is your first time or not, makes a difference in the lives of the athletes with and without intellectual and physical disabilities. Since 2009, the Delta Frozen Flyers has raised $682, 873, which would not be possible with out you. Thank you.
