Defying Expectations with Special Olympics Athlete and Marathon Runner Loretta Claiborne (126)
Today I’m excited to welcome Loretta Claiborne to the Seasoned Athlete Podcast. Loretta was born in 1953 with physical and intellectual disabilities and did not walk or talk until four years old. Doctors told her mother that Loretta belonged in an institution because she would never survive in the "regular" world.
Loretta, a Special Olympics athlete, is a gifted motivational speaker who shares her life story that carries a heart-felt message of acceptance and hope worldwide for all people with different abilities. Her mother refused and chose to raise her the same as her other children. Despite her [different] abilities, which led to years of being bullied, teased, and hostile retaliation, she credits the Special Olympics as her positive force that turned her life around.
