Published | Video Starts at 24:07

I was working as a hugger and a coach in Special Olympics when I was 8 years old. Before it, when it was still called Camp Driver, we never saw any kids like that. And suddenly they're everywhere. Every classroom had an EpiPen in it, and nobody was talking about it. And when I started talking about it, I got censored. And I prayed every day for 19 years that God would put me in a position to change us. (24:07–24:15)
