Impact Special Olympics has had on you and/or your family: My family has been involved in Special Olympics for years. Watching the athletes compete and blow our minds and other people that see them compete makes us happy and excited. I am motivated by some of the athletes that are told no they can't do certain thing then go and prove people wrong.
Why is being a member of the Chicago Fire All Star Team important to you? Being a member is important to me because I get to hang out and meet with new athletes and partners from around Illinois. Also I have enjoyed the experience that I have had talking to the professional players.
