Special Olympics Connecticut Global Messenger

Matthew Glad

Birth Date: June 30, 1986
Home Town: Windsor, CT
Sports: Track and Field, Bowling, Skiing

I live at home with my Mom & Dad and twin sister Jennifer. I have no pets, but I love animals. I graduated from Windsor High School in 2005 and I currently attend WAAVE in West Hartford.

I started with Special Olympics Connecticut in 1994 when I was 8. I love Special Olympics because I get to meet people, because I like to cheer on my teammates, and because I like the competition and doing my best.

My hobbies are to collect police and fire patches and to volunteer as a member of the Windsor Volunteer Fire Company. I also love to travel and am a Life Boy Scout working towards Eagle. During the winter I like to go skiing every weekend with my family at the White Mountain Adaptive Snow sports School at Loon Mountain in Lincoln, NH. I also like to cook and go fishing.

I participate in the 100 meter run, running long jump, 4x100 meter relay with Windsor, and Unified® bowling with Bloomfield and alpine skiing with West Hartford.
