Every day, <strong>Special</strong> <strong>Olympics</strong> athletes dig deep, confront challenges and<br />
ultimately reveal the champion within. The impact of the <strong>Special</strong> <strong>Olympics</strong><br />
movement is palpable across the globe—from a small village in Malawi<br />
where a <strong>Special</strong> <strong>Olympics</strong> coach is changing the hearts and minds of people<br />
with little understanding of intellectual disabilities, to the international<br />
stage of the <strong>Special</strong> <strong>Olympics</strong> World Summer Games where athletes brought<br />
dignity and honor to their home countries. With each new competition and<br />
event, athletes discover new strengths and abilities. On the playing field, in<br />
school and in life, these tremendous individuals inspire joy and pride for the<br />
millions who witness both their trials and successes.
