This week we celebrate coaches, thousands of coaches who continue to make a difference in the lives of Special Olympics athletes when they need it most.

There are a great number of LETR supporters that not only volunteer their time to help raise funds and awareness but dedicate their personal time to help train and motivate athletes in their community.

#ThanksCoach to all LETR supporters who work double duty to make a difference in the lives of Special Olympics Ontario athletes.
