Heroes are those who overcome immense challenges and inspire others to do the same. Chris Dooley, a multi-sport Special Olympian from Maryland, fits that description. Chris, who is also an active Knight of Columbus, reveals the triumph and heroism of Special Olympics athletes who give witness to the dignity of those with intellectual disabilities.

“My Catholic faith keeps me motivated, and keeps me going,” he says in the video.
