In 1988, I became involved with the Special Olympics Maine and the Maine Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run. I have participated in every torch run with this 2007 Run being my 20th. I have attended both Maine's Summer and Winter Speical Olympic Games, being in parades, handing out medals and volunteering. I have also assisted Special Olympics in my area.

In 1998, I was honored with being inducted into the Maine Law Enforcement Torch Run Hall of Fame. I was inducted for my numerous years of dedicated service to the Torch Run and for helping to further the goals of Special Olympics Maine. Assisting in helping Special Olympics Maine has been a great pleasure of mine, both while representing the Rumford Police Department and volunteering my own time.

In May 2002, I was one of two Police Officers chosen by Special Olympics Maine to represent the State of Maine at a Salute to Hope, Honor and Courage in New York City in honor of those lost in 9-11.

In June 2005, I was chosen to fly in the Lifeflight medical helicopter and land at the University of Maine in Orono. Upon landing, a Special Olympian athlete and I ran in with the torch to begin the 2005 Maine Special Olympics Summer Games.

As you can see I support Special Olympics 100%. I have gotten more in return from Special Olympics and the Athletes I have helped then I could ever give in return. It is my hope that you can assist me in raising funds so athletes can continue to strive.
