Sunti Hattaboon is 15 years old and from Nakornrachasima, Thailand. Hattaboon has been participating in Special Olympics for two years. At the 2003 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Dublin, Ireland, he participated in the 100- and 200-meter runs, as well as the 4 x 100 relay.
Although he admits there are many reasons to appreciate the organization, he particularly loves the social aspect of Special Olympics — the fact that he's found such good friends through his participation.
He also appreciates the fact that it is a global movement, noting that Special Olympics gets people to be aware of intellectual disabilities all around the world.
