Andy got involved with the Special Olympics when he was in the 6 th grade & he continued til he was a senior in high school!!! He did the Special Olympics swimming in the very hot summer months in Northern Arizona, & in the fall he did Special OLympics bowling!!! My son was sooo good @ both of these activities that he earned himself several trophies!!! UNfortunately he did not live to see the first place trophy that he earned in swimming!!! He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure that he had!!! He was only 18 years old!!!
