"As an American and an Olympian we are given so many opportunities. We sometimes take for granted how fortunate we are. Working with Right to Play has given me the chance to give back to those children who don't know the joys of sports and recreation. Sports can shape an individual's confidence, self-esteem, morals, strength, and physical and mental well being. With some children already going through such devastation in their lives, depriving them the right to play could deprive them of a chance to truly live a fulfilled life. Thinking of the smile that I can help put on the face of a small child, makes every effort worthwhile."
