Will you Bobby? ❤️

For Bobby, inclusion means having the same chance to try something new, do what you love and build friendships along the way.

As he puts it, we all have different abilities. Some people may need a little more support, but everyone deserves the opportunity to take part, work toward their goals and feel like they belong.

In his Include Wisconsin story, Bobby shares what Special Olympics has brought into his life and why he wants others to experience it too.

A new season is a great reminder to prioritize your health. 🍂

Staying up to date on recommended vaccines, including your seasonal flu vaccine, is one way to help protect yourself, your teammates and the people around you so you can keep doing the things you love all year long.

Every athlete deserves access to the information and preventive care they need to make informed choices about their health.

Some stories remind us how much can come from simply being given the chance to take part. Bobby’s is one of them. ❤️

In his Include Wisconsin video, Bobby shares how Special Olympics has brought new sports, new friendships and experiences into his life that he didn’t know were waiting for him.

He also has a message for anyone thinking about getting involved: give it a try. You might find more than you expected.

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to hear Bobby’s story and the joy he’s found along the way.

Everyone deserves to know there’s a place for them. ❤️

Bobby knows how much it can hurt to feel left out. And he also knows we’re often carrying more than other people can see.

“Some of our challenges are just more visible than others.”

Tomorrow, in his Include Wisconsin 2026 story we’ll hear more from Bobby about what inclusion means to him and the difference Special Olympics has made in his life!
