Name: Danny Munson
Hometown: Memphis
Years involved in Special Olympics: 13


Hi, I'm Danny Munson II, better known as D.B. I started participating in Special Olympics when I was eight years old. Now that's I'm 20, nothing can stop me from wanting to be actively involved in all types of sports where I'm considered a winner no matter what.

In 2008, I had my first opportunity of participating in Special Olympics state games in Nashville. Boy, did I have a blast! I'm looking forward to this year's state games and I'm rearing up to give it my all! Special Olympics is my form of recreation. I thank God for Special Olympics and the people who thought enough of people like me to make sure that we are able to enjoy sports in a fun competitive manner.

See you at the games!

D.B.
