It is unfair to punish children because of weather conditions. Special Olympics should not be cancelled. Other sports events have been made up and rescheduled due to weather conditions. This one day should not be taken from these children.

These children need one day a year to call their own. Special Olympics brings them so much enjoyment and pride in themselves. Please don't take this this wonderful event away from them.

These kids should be allowed to have their olympics it is not their fault we have had such bad weather. They should not be punished for something out of thier control. This is an injustice.

I helped in the special Olympics when I was a senior in high school. It is one of my greatest memories, and I know it's also one of theirs. Honestly can't imagine it being cancelled. It's something these children look forward to every year.
