NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — There's a huge community push today to get fans in the stands for the final day of the Special Olympics spring games in Murfreesboro!
The games started yesterday at the Dean Hayes Track and Soccer Stadium at MTSU, with elementary and middle schoolers taking the field.
Today, high schoolers and adults get their chance to compete!
The games will kick off at 10 a.m.
“I’ve never met anyone like Tennie.”
That’s how one neighbor at Stones River Manor in Murfreesboro describes Tennie Fitzpatrick, who has mastered as many as seven different musical instruments. Each day, Tennie shares those talents with residents, workers and visitors. It’s an ability Tennie herself believes is “a gift from God.” That’s because Tennie is blind, and overcame a difficult, abusive childhood. Forrest Sanders shares this truly inspirational story.
