The 2024 Olympic Games showcased not just athletic excellence, but the extraordinary resilience of athletes like
Simone Biles, Noah Lyles, Lydia Jacoby, and Kenny Bednarek. These champions triumphed over Adverse Childhood
Experiences (ACEs) such as foster care, mental health challenges, and financial struggles, embodying a spirit of courage
that aligns perfectly with PCA America’s mission. Their stories remind us of the critical importance of creating
supportive environments that empower every child to overcome adversity and reach their full potential.
