Default Special Olympics Corvette Run Pic's

Today the North Shore Corvettes of MA club displayed 20 Corvettes at the Special Olympics Tournament of Champions in Marlboro, MA.

My wife Karen and I brought one of our Corvettes and Volunteered in some of the events helping out the participants. We both made some new lifetime friends. A day of joy my wife and I will never forget.

Thanks for sharing. I helped special Olympic's 40 years ago. It really makes you feel how small our problems really are.

Thanks for the pics.

I thought several of those Special Olympics participants probably wanted to sit in a Vette.

Very nice.

Nice job, buddy- That's what Corvette owners represent across this great Nation- Real Americans driving a real American icon!


BTW, I'm from Lexington, MA (family is still there), and must tell you about these San Diego winters, in case you hadn't heard!

It's an absolute blessing to go to a Special Olympics meet and see the love and joy on the kids faces. No matter how rotten a mood I'm in, they snap me out of it in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing, and for representing the Corvette community.
