SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETE OF THE MONTH: Lauren Lee Wingate’s beaming smile lit up the room, and is one of the reasons why she’s such a respected and well-liked Special Olympian.

She participates in floor hockey, basketball, track and field, tennis and soccer, and she also works at the Ralph’s downtown. In a recent floor hockey match in San Diego, she recorded six goals.

“She was amazing on the left side and we really appreciate all of her hard work,” said her coach, Jaime.
