What would you say about Special Olympics to encourage someone to get involved?
I would say they should do it because it's fun to be active and meet lots of new people.
Please tell us a little bit more about yourself! What else would you like people to know about you?
I have a very busy and full life. I work full time at a manufacturing facility. I have worked my way up to train new people how to do the job that I do and how to do it correctly. I also am working with my mom and dad to get my food trailer up and running. The name is "Danny's Bake Shop" and I'll be making and selling the things I like to bake, such as cinnamon rolls and oatmeal cookies. I am in piano and theory lessons, and am currently working on my grade 6 Royal Conservatory of Music and my level 6 theory. Finally, I am in 9 sports with the Special Olympics - track and field, swimming, power lifting, basketball, snow shoeing, club fit, bocce ball, soccer and golf. I love them all.
Some of my favorite things to do are travelling and trying all of the foods wherever I go. I love cooking and baking, especially sampling what I've made along the way. I love getting to know new people and asking them a lot of questions. I love my family most of all and that they come and support me at all of my events.
