Mrs. Virginia Earth cheers on the athletes at Virginia Special Olympics in Richmond, VA

Mrs. Virginia Earth, Maria Beall was asked to cheer on the athletes participating at the Special Olympics in Richmond, Virginia, Saturday, June 12. Special Olympics provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities (volunteer at your local Special Olympics program). Those activities give them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship.
Maria was not only asked to be a volunteer to cheer but she also participated placing medals on some of the athletes! What an amazing experience!
