On March 9, my team and I are participating in an all-day fundraiser called motionball Marathon of Sport. This is an action-packed day where my we will play sports alongside Special Olympics athletes from our community. This day helps to bring athletes of all abilities together on the playing field.
This day not only brings awareness to the Special Olympics movement but also 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.
This year marks my 3rd as captain of our Motionball team, and it continues to feel more special each year. It’s incredible to see the excitement grow among participants in the weeks leading up to the event, which only fuels my own enthusiasm. Their energy reminds me of the positive impact we’re making, and it’s always rewarding to watch everything come together.
Special Olympics holds a special place in my heart, as the organization has created a supportive and inclusive environment for my brother. I’m proud to contribute to an organization that has positively impacted his life, where he and his friends can participate with love and support.
Our team is accepting donations of any amount until Sunday, March 9th! For more details, please check out the link below. Your support means the world to us and the Special Olympics community.
Every donation makes a difference.
