When and how did you get involved with Special Olympics?
I got involved with Special Olympics in 1998.
Will these be your first Special Olympics Canada Games? If not, which other National Games did you compete in, and in what sports?
No, this is my second time at National Games. My first time was in Corner Brook in 2016 for snowshoeing. This time, I will be in curling.

In Kamloops we only had a three person team and we were up against the wall but we still got the win and we came home with the gold medal!

It is a privilege and an honour to be a part of this amazing team and I look forward to seeing more people and friends.
