I'm so happy to have been selected to join the Special Olympics New York’s 2024 Marathon Team!
As a special education teacher, my goal is to represent the special needs community even more. Running has changed my life, and no matter how small or large a goal the Special Olympics can and WILL change lives for the better!
I'm excited to run and represent Special Olympics New York and my local community's efforts for athletes with disabilities. This will help children and adults with disabilities receive opportunities to train and compete in authentic, quality sports at the local, state, national and even international level.
I’ve witnessed this success firsthand, and am looking forward to running for such a great cause!
