Hi! I’m Danny, and I’m part of Team Ontario in Powerlifting. I first got involved when I was asked to start the powerlifting program in Ottawa, and I’ve now been part of Special Olympics for seven years.
It has been an amazingly rewarding experience to support these athletes with something they love.
One of my proudest moments has been seeing my athletes get their medals.
I work in National Defence in drone procurement and engineering services contracting, and I volunteer with the Canadian Cancer Society as Event Director for Relay for Life.
Being part of Team Ontario means the experience grows exponentially with the complexity of the Games — Nationals will be a new experience.
My advice? Continue to do your best!
