By Grace Payne, Special Olympics New Zealand Athlete
This year marks me being with Special Olympics for 10 years!! ??
Who would’ve knew 10 years can go so fast? ?♀️
You know what they say…. time flies when you are having fun, and I definitely wouldn’t have it any other way ??
These pics only show a glimpse of what I have done in the years like competing in sports, competing internationally, being an athlete leader, attending conferences and speeches, spreading awareness and (hopefully) being a positive role model to others ??
With Special Olympics I’ve grown confidence and grown as a person, met loads of people and made lots of lifelong friends.
I love what I do but I have still got a lot to learn and do ? Thank you Special Olympics New Zealand for changing my life for the better! ?
10 years down, many many many more to go! ???
