In Memory of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Founder and Honorary Chairman of Special Olympics
August 11, 2009
In 1979 I had the privilege to meet Eunice Kennedy Shriver, at a meeting for Special Olympics Supporters. It was a great day I will always remember. Her love for humanity, her focus for doing the best and right thing, and her dedication to mankind, changed and improved so many lives, and inspired me to be the best Special Olympics Coach and Advocate I could be. She has left a legacy that will live on forever. I could only imagine that when she arrived at the pearly gates, she was greeted by her brothers, Joe, Jack and Bobby and they said, “Come on in Eunice, there are a whole bunch of Special Friends waiting to hug you!” Check out her web site to learn more. http://www.eunicekennedyshriver.org/bios/si
