A Letter from Eddie Barbanell

Eunice Kennedy Shriver you are a role model for me and I look up to you as a friend and I love you so much Eunice Shriver.

You made an impact on my life and I am moved by your work and your accomplishments towards people with disabilities.

You touch everyone's hearts and I thank you so much for everything that you have done for this movement.

You made Special Olympics come alive and I want you to keep doing what you have been doing.

without you there would not be a Special Olympics and people with disabilities would not have any healthcare and doctors to take care of them and coaches that teach these people for sports.

Eunice Shriver you are a legend to me.

YOU wrote the book of history.

May God bless you and your family.

Sincerely,

your Best friend

Edward Barbanell
