There is nothing quite like a fundraiser for Special Olympics here in Norfolk County.
We spoke with Shirley Shaw about the amazing community support.
From torch runs to polar dips, these events always bring out the community to help support local athletes.
Shaw says it’s great for the organization, and the athletes, to have that connection with police and other first responders – as they are always there front and centre whenever a fundraiser takes place.
When speaking to Shaw, one of the things she was worried about was missing out mentioning any of their amazing supporters.
Over the years, many local charity groups and individuals have continued to put in the effort to make sure our athletes thrive in Norfolk,
Shaw is thankful for each and everything individual who has pitched in.
When asked about a memorable moment, she said that one touching acting of generosity really stood out.
