When and how did you get involved with Special Olympics?
I joined Hong Kong Special Olympics in swimming in 2008. When I moved to Canada in 2021, I registered myself to continue the training practice in Vancouver. At the moment, I belong to the Burnaby team.

This is the first SO Canada Games for me.

What does being part of Special Olympics Team BC 2026 mean to you?

Please tell us a little bit more about yourself! What else would you like people to know about you?
I like sports very much. I find that doing sports can help challenge my limits. In order to strengthen my physical body, I go to the gym every day and I do taekwondo regularly. Besides sports, I work in a thrift shop being a volunteer. I enjoy helping people.
