For Ciara Joseph, an athlete from West Nipissing, Special Olympics is a great place to feel supported as she expands her range of sports. “I get to try javelin and ball throw. I get recognized for my efforts at Special Olympics.”
Ciara became involved in Special Olympics in 2020 and focusses on athletics (track and field) and swimming. She says her best memory is winning ribbons at her first ever track meet and she has hopes for more in the future. “I most look forward to having fun, getting medals and ribbons, and travelling.”
To all supporters, Ciara says: “Special Olympics makes people happy. It makes me happy. It’s a lot of fun to participate. You help make that possible, thank you.”
