Special Olympics-Annette Domingue dies |25 June 2013

Ms Domingue, who joined Special Olympics Seychelles in 1986, was the organisation’s chairperson for a number of years. In 2008, she became a member of the Special Olympics African advisory council.

She died yesterday after losing her battle with cancer.

Ms Domingue always believed in giving Special Olympic athletes, with different degree of disabilities, the opportunity to develop their physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and take part in the sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their colleagues, families and the community.

She was instrumental in sending Seychelles’ teams to the International Special Olympics Summer Games where local special athletes always excelled.
