Jenna Trebour, Champion

She'd never sit up. Never roll over. That's what Beth & Ryan Trebour were told when their daughter, Jenna, was born 17 years ago. Today, just shy of her 18th birthday, she's involved in all sorts of activities, including Special Olympics.

"She's a remarkable young woman," Beth said. "When Jenna wants to go and do, there's no stopping her."

Sign up to cheer on 1300+ inspiring athletes just like Jenna at this year's Summer Games - and read more of Jenna's story - at www.volunteer2cheer.com.
