They said, my children are of value. In 10 or 15 years, we are going to have millions of athletes in Special Olympics around the world and the parents are going to say to everybody, 'We won.'"
— Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Founder and Honorary Chair, Special Olympics "Family is important to the athlete to make him or her stronger. They are the engine of Special Olympics and as more families become involved, more involved will be the athlete. It is important that families be present at all events to provide encouragement and share the joy."
—Dina Galal, Special Olympics MENA Global Messenger
