A Letter from Dot Tubridy Friend and supporter of Special Olympics

I am so proud to be one of the founders of Special Olympics European Games here -- 1985.

What a wonderful World Games took place in 2003! Any statesman or pop star would enjoy the tributes of appreciation & recognition shown to Eunice Kennedy Shriver at the opening ceremonies.

President Mandela, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Muhammad Ali, Bono, 007 Pierce Brosnan, Madonna - eat your heart out!

Eunice has inspired + encouraged people with intellectual disabilities to reach their potential and fully participate in happy family life.

Eunice, your dedication + energy has lit a torch which burns brightly and affects millions of people around the world.

Happy birthday dear friend, and Happy Olympic Anniversary.

I send you an Irish Blessing -

May the road rise up to meet you

May the wind always be at your back

Sláinte, Dot Tubridy
