"Family Matters" with Special Olympics South Africa's Winter Games athlete Shane François Bentley
If you were to see Shane François Bentley today—gliding on the ice, defending on the soccer field, or diving into a swimming pool—you’d never guess the mountain of challenges he’s had to overcome.

At 39 years old, Shane’s life has been one of struggle, yet his story is one of hope, resilience, and the power of perseverance. Today, as Shane prepares to represent South Africa once again at the 2025 World Winter Games in Turin, his story stands as a testament to the power of never giving up. He has taught the world an important lesson: that with determination, love, and support, no challenge is insurmountable.
