I am very excited to have been selected to compete in tennis at the first-ever Special Olympics National Games at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa this summer July 2-7. 

This is a very exciting and memorable year for me as I graduate from Athens Drive High school and head to Iowa with Special Olympics Team NC.  Special Olympics athletes are never required to pay a fee to participate but it will cost approximately $2,000 to send me to Iowa.  Some people have asked what I would like as a graduation gift and I am suggesting a gift to Special Olympics North Carolina.  Your donation will provide for vital items such as travel, uniforms and equipment.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure and gifts are tax deductible. 

Many thanks for supporting me during this remarkable time -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate, too!

I can’t wait to make North Carolinians proud!  Thank you!
