I know first-hand what a difference your support makes to Special Olympics athletes – and to the people who love them. If you have a friend or family member who would like to find out more about Special Olympics, please encourage them to get involved. I can promise that it will change their lives like it did ours.

October is Disability Employment Awareness Month and we are celebrating inclusion in the workplace by hearing from Special Olympics Ontario athlete, Catherine Partlow. Catherine has been an athlete since she was 14-years-old, just two years before she became an employee at Special Olympics Canada’s partner, JYSK.
