Recently I received the following letter from a mother of a Special Olympic athlete. This athlete, Alistair, represented NSW in the softball at the recent National Games in Adelaide.

They clapped, laughed, moved to the music in their seats and then finally unable to contain themselves any longer, those that could, jumped up and joined in. Once again the SOSUNS performance dance group did a fantastic job bringing joy to their audience. Read more
