Fact Sheet

"Since I joined Special Olympics my life has completely changed. In Special Olympics I am respected, encouraged and challenged to become the best that I can be. Special Olympics is all about abilities, not disabilities. Before I joined Special Olympics, I was an observer; now I am an athlete. Special Olympics has helped me to create a life of my own."

-- Elizabeth, SOPA athlete & Global Messenger
