These students reached this
level of competition as a result of family
support & the
dedicated staff of the Alaska Special Olympics
Association. Nicolle Egan with Special
Olympics Alaska has made tremendous strides
in giving students with disabilities recognition
in the world of sports. Through Nicolle's
dedication & passion, she has created
opportunities for students with disabilities
at a level that has not been reached in
many years. |
