Thank you for visting my personal fund raising page .  I am a power-lifter  and a member of the 2007 Special Olympics Virginia World Games Team. The event will be held in Shanghai, China in October of 2007.  The World Games have never been held in Asia before and this is only the second time that they have been held outside the United States.

I am excited about being given this opportunity and appreciate your support.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.   Your donation helps me, but also my community.  Donations above my goal will be returned to the community to help support other Special Olympic sports programs and the many athletes who benefit from them just as I do.

A note from Jim and JoAnn:  

Thank you so much for your support of Sterling.  Special Olympics has been a wonderful experience for him and our entire family.   He has participated in various sports since he was eight and made many friends.  It has enriched his life immeasurably.  If you know of a child who could benefit, please encourage them to become a part of this wonderful organization.  Special Olympics is always looking for coaches, volunteers, and athletes.  If you have some time to spare, please consider volunteering.  Thanks again!
