David O’Conner, Ready, Set, Go!

I had the pleasure of meeting David O’Conner and hearing, first hand, about his experience with Special Olympics. David proudly told me that he lost 25 pounds while getting ready to run the 15K. He also spoke about how his increased activity has helped manage depression. David also shared that he has had ups and downs in his life but being part of the Special Olympics has made him very proud; it has definitely paid off physically and emotionally.
