Hi! I’m Mike, and I’m part of Team Ontario in Golf. I first got involved when Tess started 5-pin bowling, and I’ve now been part of Special Olympics for 24 years.
Special Olympics has taught me many lessons about inclusion, diversity, and the ability of sport to change people’s lives and build their confidence and self-esteem.
One of my proudest moments was caddying for Tess in Abu Dhabi and witnessing her two holes in one.
I’m active in my community as a member of the local community council, coach of the local SO golf program, and mentor to the local athlete leadership council. Our golf team also raised $5,700 through the Golf Ontario 1000 Ball Challenge.
Being part of Team Ontario means I’m looking forward to being part of the team and sharing in their journey.
My advice? Believe in yourself and don’t forget to have fun!
