Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page.  I am a member of the 2010 Special Olympics Virginia National Games Team.

Every four years, thousands of Special Olympics athletes from around the nation come together to showcase their athletic skills and celebrate the true spirit of competition through summer sports. Through the 2010 Special Olympics National Games, Special Olympics athletes will transcend the boundaries of geography, political philosophy, gender, age, culture and religion. This event will transform participants, community leaders and fans nationwide through sportsmanship and spirited competition. These Games will help citizens throughout the United States appreciate the values of respect and inclusion, which the athletes and their supporters live by every day.

The event will be held from July 18-23, 2010, in Lincoln, Nebraska. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.  It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my effort to get to Lincoln.

Although I qualified for the National Games in golf skills, I continue to enjoy my other Special Olympics sports, including basketball, soccer, softball, cross-country skiing and new-this-year - track and field.  And I also participate in a performance group of challenged players called ArtStream, that creates and performs original musical productions based on our ideas and suggestions.

Many thanks for your support - and don’t forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to support this effort, too!
