Sharon told me, "This is my way of showing how much I believe in the mission of Special Olympics Connecticut and my passion for what I do everyday." 

Sharon's goal is to raise $3,000. She also told me, "I have faced challenges in my life, but none as big as the ones people with intellectual disabilities face on a daily basis. Help me reach my goal by making a tax deductible donation online.
