Erin Delahunty--or ''Tee-tee" as her nieces and nephews call her, because the first couldn't pronounce ''auntie"--loves to run. She started participating in Special Olympics events as a high schooler growing up in Connecticut.

If you ask Tracey Sheak how she got involved with Over the Edge for Special Olympics, she'll laugh, and tell you how she was quite literally ''roped" into it.
