The Kansas Special Olympics van. The look on these faces is what it all about. The organization does so much to help, inspire, encourage and provide opportunities for those with mental disabilities and their families. I was asked by Kansas Special Olympics to assist another photographer in taking photos of their annual Heroes Pull fund raising event. I was quite honored and jumped at the opportunity. It takes place following a local St. Patrick's Parade and had 16 teams from local police and fire departments along with various business teams, etc.. Each team pulls a fire truck then an armored vehicle for 50 feet. The winner is the one with the fastest combined time. All to raise money for Kansas Special Olympics. Put about 300 photos on a DVD for both Special Olympics and Kansas Law Enforcement. Sorry for so many photos, just creating an album of the event with a few. No need to comment.
