Rudolpha's favorite part about being a Special Olympics Georgia athlete is traveling the world and meeting athletes from so many different places. Athletes like Rudolpha get to compete for decades and make friendships because of kind donors like you.

A word from Rudolpha -

" Thank you for your friendship to Special Olympics Georgia. Because of your generosity, I am able to train and compete year-round in basketball, track and field, and bocce. My involvement with Special Olympics Georgia gives me the confidence to be a global messenger and make speeches about Special Olympics. Thank you for giving me and all the other Special Olympics Georgia athletes the opportunity to focus on our abilities and succeed!

Your friend,

Rudolpha
