Loretta Claiborne is a young woman who achieved great athletic success, despite being born with mental and physical handicaps. This bio-pic – held back by the limitations of most made-for-television movies – is just modestly successful in telling what should be a more inspiring story than we find on screen.

Loretta Claiborne SGMA Hero in Pennsylvania York Resident Selected SGMA Heroes Award Winner National Award Program Offers Loretta Claiborne Opportunity To Win $18,000 ...Claiborne was born mentally retarded and blind, and did not walk until she was four years old. Nevertheless, she has become one of the greatest athletes in Special Olympics history. An accomplished marathon runner, Claiborne is also proficient in karate, skiing, ice skating, bowling, basketball, softball and roller skating, to name a few. Claiborne's athletic prowess and public speaking ability (she speaks English, Spanish, Russian and American Sign Language) earned her a position on the board of directors of the Pennsylvania Special Olympics in 1982. Although she quit her first term as board member, Claiborne jumped at the opportunity to return to the board as an agent of change seven years ago. Soon after, Claiborne joined the SOI board of directors in a similar capacity. Now both boards of directors benefit from the experience and knowledge of a Special Olympic athlete. Claiborne was instrumental in having a half-marathon added to the 1991 Special Olympics, and a full marathon to the 1995 World Games. sgma.com

Where
There’s a Will: Having already dominated the world of running (she’s even
finished in the top 100 women at the Boston Marathon twice), a pumped-up
Claiborne has decided to lace up the skates and compete at the Nagano Games.
Although the fourth-degree black belt in karate dedicates part of every day to
training, Claiborne also manages to volunteer her time to teach knitting to
members of her local community and inspire anyone who knows her name.
Some people got mad at me but I said that’s the problem in our society. We look at the big picture and not the small picture. I’d rather have somebody who’s committed than somebody who’s very very good at something but not committed
