Olympics with Kayleigh


Kayleigh participated in her first "Special Olympics" the other day at Harvard, she had a great time and won 2 gold medals and one silver in the 3 events she entered.




looks like she is a little nervous getting ready for her first race.

on your mark, get set, GO !!!

with all 3 medals outside Harvard Football Stadium

and this kid "Jared" is what the Special Olympics is all about. Take a look at the size of the other 3 people he is running against in the first picture, thats him on the far left scratching his head. Not a chance !, but the second picture is when he got the baton on the anchor leg and started running. (I think the other 3 teams just finished, but do you think he cared?) obviously NOT !. He loved every minute of it and tried his best. That picture I took was published in the Daily News and they put this caption underneath...
"With baton in hand, Jared Bedard is all smiles as he speeds around the Harvard track in the relay event saturday".
Really makes you count your blessings.
