Eunice Kennedy Shriver is famous for the work she does with Special Olympics. She is also
famous because she is a "Kennedy."
Eunice married Sargent Shriver. She created a camp for the mentally handicapped people to learn to swim, play tennis, and shoot bows and arrows. Then one day she came up with an idea to start the Special Olympics program. She had seen people turn away from her retarded sister, Rosemary, all her life. It took 5 long years to put together the Special Olympics. Eunice asked athletic coaches around the country to help her. Today many children enjoy the benefits of Special Olympics thanks to Eunice Kennedy Shriver.
