WHAT IS MOTIONBALL and why am I getting involved? Quick note: If you already got my email, this might sound familiar... Feel free to skip ahead.
My friends from Thompson Rivers University and I are teaming up to take part in an amazing initiative called motionball. Motionball is an organization that brings communities together through sports to support and raise money for Special Olympics athletes. For individuals with intellectual disabilities, accessing the incredible benefits of sports can be challenging due to limited funding and barriers to using facilities and equipment.
That’s why we’re taking part in the motionball Marathon of Sport, where we raise funds for Special Olympics Canada and, on March 29th, join local Special Olympians for an action packed day full of sports and activities. Donations to the Special Olympics will support athletes with intellectual disabilities by funding equipment, training coaches, and creating programs in communities.

What does sport mean to me? To me, sports mean building strong relationships with other like-minded people. They are crucial resources for strengthening the development of important life skills like leadership, resilience, and perseverance. Sport brings people together and allows them to share memories and bonds that will last a lifetime. For many, sports give people purpose and meaning in life. Learning a new skill, overcoming an obstacle, winning a big game, or making a high team can be extremely rewarding.
Why are the Special Olympics so important? The Special Olympics is important because it allows people with intellectual disabilities to do something that makes them feel a part of a bigger community. Athletes can build strong social connections through the Special Olympics, leading to more confidence in their daily lives. It’s not just the athletes who benefit—parents, spectators, and the whole community are positively impacted too.
**** Special Olympians are truly remarkable—they face incredible adversity yet still manage to be some of the happiest, most inspiring people you’ll ever meet. It proves that no matter how challenging things may seem, with passion and a clear goal in mind, anything is possible. ****
ᯓ⚽︎ ᯓ⚽︎ ᯓ⚽︎ ᯓ⚽︎ YOUR SUPPORT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO BOTH ME AND THE ATHLETES. IF YOU'RE ABLE TO DONATE, IT WOULD TRULY MAKE A DIFFERENCE! ᯓ⚽︎ ᯓ⚽︎ ᯓ⚽︎ ᯓ⚽︎
