I didn't view a complete episode yet since I just discovered the show but it's real life people in real life situations some that we if it were on network TV I'd watch it. Some of the situations either myself of some of my friends have gone through at one time or another.

Mike is like any 28-year-old today with a crazy schedule, juggling his work, college studies and multiple sports. Yet there is something more you should know about him. Mike was born with Down syndrome and has been an avid Special Olympics athlete since he was a child.

Special Olympics is wondering who saw " Glee" on Wednesday? Amazing storylines ofacceptance, inclusion and respect throughout the episode. Its just that type of inclusive learning environment and youth empowerment that Special Olympics' Project UNIFY promotes. What was your favorite moment from the episode and how can you relate it to your experience with Special Olympics?

Eric's soccer team recieved a Bronze Medal and sportmanship pin today. We have had constant rain until the game so they pretty much played in giant mud puddles. I think today was the dirtest I have ever seen Eric but we all took it in stride ad enjoyed the moment.

Ditto! Pity is a negative emotion that has no place here. West Virginia's Fall Games are in Parkersburg on Halloween weekend and we can't wait to participate! It is great to see the friends we've made throughout the years from all over our state. Although, one of our athletes (my niece) can't compete this year, my son and her other teammates will be sure to share their awards and happiness with her!!! Let's go, have fun and good sportsmanship. Go Roane County....we love you!!!!
