Training for Life Campus

For my semester project for J2150, my topic is the new Training for Life Campus in Columbia, Mo. for the Special Olympics. I picked this topic idea because this will be the first official place in Columbia for children and adult participators in this amazing program to have an area to practice and feel at home. I picked an article from the Columbia Missourian that discusses it briefly. It says in this article that Gary Pinkel, one of the co-chairmen of Special Olympics Missouri and the head coach for Mizzou football, proudly advocates the new center. He also has a personal connection with the organization because both his brother and sister have a hereditary disorder that makes them confined to a wheelchair. This new center will benefit disabled and special needs children and adults in the central Missouri area. Having this $7.5 million center will give them a sense of permanence and will indeed make them feel even more special then they already are.
