🇺🇸Happy 4th of July weekend! Hope everyone is enjoying the sun and drinking plenty of water: Stay Hydrated!
These next few days, we will be posting information about special announcements and events coming up in the next couple of weeks...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Today's post is giving a special announcement about what some of you may be aware of: an amazing accomplishment by Molly Hincka. Molly is an athlete we have had the wonderful pleasure of working with from Ainsley's Angels in Michigan.
On June 25th, Molly Hincka shattered the Special Olympics 10,000m record with an incredible time of 53:39.79 at the USA Games in Minnesota! She also brought home gold in the 5,000m and bronze in the 1,500m! 🥇🥉
Molly is truly an impressive athlete who has a bright future ahead of her. We hope to see her back on the slopes this winter! Please send congratulations and celebrations to Molly as she has truly deserved it!
Below are links to more information about Molly and Team Michigan at the Special Olympics.
