Virginia Athlete Speaks at UN


David Eagan has always dreamed big.  When he was a youngster, starting out as a Special Olympics swimmer, he dreamed of winning his races.  As he grew, he looked to bigger goals.  On World Down Syndrome Day, he achieved yet another by being a spokesperson for his peers at the UN.  Click here to see David's UN presentation or visit our Global Messengers page to learn how you can request a FREE Special Olympics athlete speaker like David at your next community function.
