A Letter from Mary and John Manley

Dear Mrs. Shriver,

You have never stopped giving. You have never said....done...that's enough. And your spirit refuses to make that easy for others.

Your faith in God and your belief in the possibilities of every single human being cast a bright light. It shines on in your family, it shines on everyone you have touched, it shines on anyone who has been touched by the spirit of Special Olympics.

In so doing you have become a peacemaker and Special Olympics, a force for world peace.

Your light has given sight to a too often blinded world. You make courage visible. You make love visible. And you make visible the potential of every single human being.

May God continue to bless you always.

John & Mary
