Support Keira Gowan for the 2023 motionball Marathon Of Sport Toronto

On May 27, I am participating in an all-day fundraiser called motionball Marathon of Sport. This is an action-packed day where my team and I will play sports alongside Special Olympics athletes from our community. This day helps to bring athletes of all abilities together on the playing field. While fundraising is one of our goals, Marathon of Sport is about so much more.

This day not only brings awareness to the Special Olympics movement, but allows people with and without intellectual disabilities to interact, build lifelong friendships, and ultimately create more inclusive communities. The highlight of this event each year is having the opportunity to compete alongside local Special Olympics athletes like Ryan.



Ryan has been involved in motionball for 10 years! Since then, Ryan has participated in countless motionball events, including the Toronto Gala and many local Marathon of Sport events! This year, we’re excited to have Ryan take on the role of motionball’s 2023 Honorary Athlete Ambassador. Hear from Ryan about what being part of motionball means to him:

“motionball means having the opportunity to play sports with new individuals who want to become part of the Special Olympics family and also being able to connect with sponsors to really show them how and where their support makes a difference.”

With Special Olympics programs and initiatives back in full swing, our friends at Special Olympics need us more than ever. For many of them, Special Olympics is not just about sport, or staying fit and healthy, but also about providing a social network, a sense of belonging and a valuable source of stability – all essential to their mental and physical health.

By making a donation to motionball, you're helping to ensure that athletes like Ryan have the resources they need to continue the sport programs they love.

Thank you very much for your support, Keira
