My name is Jordan Adeyemi. I am 14 years old, live in Duluth, Georgia and recently started my boarding school journey as a freshman at the Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, NH. I am passionate about the intersection of international policy, sustainability and sports. My passion led my brother and I to start the Shoeless Ones, a nonprofit program that collects fairly new and used athletic shoes and donates them to children in underserved communities. I truly believe that every child should be given the opportunity to play sports, regardless of their abilities. I attended the Special Olympic youth forum in 2019 and wanted to do more to create awareness about inclusion. Thank you for the opportunity to be a Special Olympics U.S. Youth Ambassador.

Special Olympics prioritizes Health Care with Healthy Athletes

Special Olympics prioritizes Health Care with Healthy Athletes
In 1997, Special Olympics Healthy Athletes® began offering free health screenings and education to Special Olympics athletes in a welcoming, fun environment. Since then, we have delivered over 2 million free health screenings and trained close to 300,000 health professionals and students to treat people with intellectual disabilities. Moreover, Special Olympics Programs have been able to expand their reach of Healthy Athletes, by offering 123,896 screenings since 2016 in new locations or in new disciplines. Dr. Alicia Bazzano is the Chief Health Officer for Special Olympics. Dr. Bazzano was generous with her time and gave FanSided a guided tour through the health screening that each athlete is afforded. The program has been in place for over 20 years and continues to expand in scope.
