Lunch with U.S. Olympian Wendy Boglioli
Having lunch at the Great Bridge/Hickory YMCA with the humble former U.S. Olympic Swimmer Wendy Boglioli proved to be an uplifting date. Benefiting the YMCA's We Build People annual giving campaign, the bronze and gold medalist tells her inspirational journey to the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, Canada. Growing up with her families' support Wendy continues to encourage groups to remind kids to give back to other sand be the best you can be.
