Above I have attached a video of a Special Olympics athlete named Andy Miyares. I decided to attach this video to give an example of how beneficial it can be to participate in Special Olympics. Andy has Down Syndrome and when he was only a couple years old he didn't have much muscle control so his mother decided to introduce him to swimming. Just 4 weeks after he started swimming Andy was able to pull himself up to crawl. Now Andy competes in swimming events for Special Olympics. His experience through Special Olympics has helped him with intellectual and social skills. This will be useful for my project because it is an example of how beneficial the experience of being a part of Special Olympics is. I also think that if people see the positive results that can come from Special Olympics they will be more willing to donate to help with funding.
