One in every thirty-three babies is born with a birth defect.
As those kids grow up it can be challenging for parents, and the children, to find a place where they feel normal.

Jackie Walk, with the Special Olympics helps us put the program's mission in perspective. 

For information about the organization's upcoming fundraiser, Polar Plunge, visit plungeillinois.com or call Jackie Walk at (217) 355-1750.
