Join us for Truck Ride Weekend! | | |
|
|
Matthew Morrison has been a strong supporter of Special Olympics and a leader in the Truck Ride community since 2005! Over the years Matt has watched many athletes train, set goals and achieve those goals. Some even competing in the World Games, which he noted is an incredible accomplishment.
Matt loves how excited the athletes are for the Truck Ride year after year. However, he also highlights that the drivers are equally, if not more, excited to see the athletes and catch up on their achievements and challenges throughout the previous year.
