For the past several years, John and his family have made it a priority to focus on healthier choices like eating more nutritious foods and incorporating regular exercise into his routine. One of John’s biggest goals is to compete in the Special Olympics every year, and he works hard year-round to make that possible.

With the support of his family and the Pathways Special Olympics team, John trains diligently to improve his time in the 400-meter walk. He looks forward to the challenge each year, and his radiant smile at the finish line says it all. “I try my best!” John says – and it shows.

We’re proud to support John and his commitment to a healthy lifestyle and continued growth. This year, more than 25 of our students participated in the Summer games, each one demonstrating incredible dedication and heart.
