Lindsay - September 2026

The beginning of Fall 2026 recognizes Lindsay. Halfway into her 30th year on the planet and seven years since she moved to Boerne, Lindsay has demonstrated she is willing to try almost all Special Olympics sports. BBSO is the highlight of her day when she knows she gets to come to practice from her day program. Her favorites are bowling, cycling, swimming, kickball, and indoor triathlon, but she has grown to try her best at basketball as well.

Away from BBSO and her day program five days a week in San Antonio, you can find her bowling on Saturdays at Boerne Turnverein and Sunday mornings at Pinstack. She loves to travel, especially on airplanes, to see family and explore new places. You’ll also find her most months at bingo at FUMC. She was a recipient of the Sparkle Award at the 2026 Sports banquet, and loves to wear her Special Olympics medals everywhere including to bed.

She shares a home with Leila, 22, also a BBSO athlete and her mother, Kristina, plus two cats. Lindsay spends a week in the summer, plus spring break and a couple of other weekends at Camp CAMP which she started attending soon after moving from Nevada in Spring 2019. She also excitedly looks forward to the Starlight Ball every Spring and a chance to get all dressed up. Halloween is another reason to dress up that she looks forward to every year.

Lindsay was born in Vietnam and adopted by her father two years later and became a full legal U.S. Citizen the following year. She has traveled the U.S. extensively with her father for his work developing residential communities for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities, and the nonprofit he founded and leads, LTO Ventures, is named after her initials.

From Jenny Cashion, Head of Delegation: "I just love having Lindsay as one of our athletes. She shows how much she likes being a part of the group by wanting to be next to you. She has a sparkly spirit that truly shines and makes others smile."
