During the month of May, we are celebrating mothers. Kerry Hincka recalls when doctors said her daughter Molly would never walk or talk. Kerry did what any mother would do – she didn’t
give up. Through Special Olympics, Molly gained confidence and discovered her talent for running. Today, the whole Hincka family is involved with Special Olympics — please read their inspiring story.
Our 2014 Special Olympics USA Games are just a few weeks away! Nearly 3,500 athletes will gather in New Jersey to compete in aquatics, basketball, soccer, and many other summer sports.
Among athletes competing will be Daley Fitzpatrick, who will be running in her very first national competition. Learn more about the competitions, special events, and how you can get involved. As always, thank you for your wonderful support!
