With the Special Olympics Summer Games fast approaching, we meet the athletes and coaches putting in the work to prepare for one of the biggest events of the year.

Suzanne Whelan (Head Basketball Coach), Dara Kiernan (Badminton Competitor), and Conor Keaveny (Football Competitor) join us to talk about their training, dedication, and what it means to represent their teams on such a huge stage.

From intense preparation to personal goals, this is an inspiring look at the passion and commitment behind the Special Olympics movement.
