This year for my 17th birthday I have committed to the Louisville Polar plunge to show my support for over 13,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities in Kentucky including my Aunt. 

Through sports, Special Olympics athletes build confidence and self-esteem, and develop skills they can take off the field and into their everyday lives.  Special Olympics athletes are 50% more likely to be employed than people with intellectual disabilities who don't participate in these life-changing programs. 

Your donation will not only help me reach my goal but will also help SOKY do more for more athletes each year.
