Next week’s Special Olympics in Abu Dhabi is set to be the biggest ever. More than 7,000 athletes will compete at the 50th anniversary of the games and we were lucky enough to speak with two of them… Special Olympics GB | @CEO_SOGB

Representing Special Olympics GB and SOYorksHumber in equestrian at Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019 is T-Jay Wilson. When he's not busy taking selfies or playing football, this #SpecialOlympics superstar is riding and volunteering at Haworth RDA. Good luck, T-Jay! 🏇 🏅 🇬🇧

We can see some familiar Yorkshire and Humberside faces here! Good luck #TeamSOGB!
