The adrenaline is rising and the excitement is building as NSW's Kaylen McDonald and Chris Bunton prepare to head to the Special Olympics World Games.

Try your very best and if you don’t succeed the first time you will have a lot more opportunities. This is the oath of the Special Olympics: “Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt”.

Kaylen McDonald
