jennifer dandrea
love
Although she has never competed in an Ironman nor has she run the Boston Marathon, Jennifer brings "LOVE" to IncludeAbility. Being the mother of a child with Down syndrome, Jennifer sees the impact that inclusion - on any level or in any activity - makes to everyone involved. When love is first, we all win with IncludeAbility.
From a young age, Jennifer learned the importance of serving others; whether she was serving her local school district, church community, Veterans, as a small business owner, on a non-profit Board or as a caregiver to her two children, she's always known that service to others is paramount. Jennifer holds a special place in her heart for individuals with special needs; her son Anthony (who has DS) has been a continual source of inspiration and motivation, as well as the catalyst for Jennifer and her husband, Trace to build IncludeAbility.
