Heroes Pull 2K25- Special Olympics Athlete of the Week- Michael Paterson

Meet Michael!

Michael Paterson is a 3rd year Special Olympics athlete through COF Services.  He says that his favorite event is Shotput, but he really enjoys basketball, track & field, and bowling too!

According to Michael, the best part of Special Olympics is how the competition is set up with his peers.
