Dear Athletes - I can’t wait to see you at Special Olympics Rhode Island’s 2026 Summer Games!

Keep the friendship bracelets coming.

And for all my fellow WWE fans, YEET!

Danny Comella and I have a few things in common—we both love Special Olympics and are big WWE fans. (Cue the entrance music!) He inspires me every day with his passion for life, the joy he brings to those around him, and the way he’s always smiling, no matter the circumstances.

Need a little inspiration? Look no further than Danny and his fellow athlete leaders. Be sure to check out their stories by clicking the link below.

⭐️ ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT: MEET DANIEL COMELLA ⭐️

Danny is a proud athlete of the East Greenwich Avengers, competing in basketball, volleyball, and bocce! 💪

A 2024 Pilgrim High School grad, Danny stays active in his community through work experiences and is now building his voice through Athlete Leadership University - where he’s focused on becoming a leader and role model for others.

Off the field, he’s part of a karate demo team and loves performing (and even creating his own WWE shows!).

For Danny, Special Olympics means continuing the sports he loves, growing as a leader, and making his family proud. ❤️
