Hello!
On March 22nd, I am leading an exciting event at the University of Guelph called the motionball Marathon of Sport 2025! This is my favourite day of the year, celebrating the Guelph community's Special Olympic athletes through an awesome day of round-robin sports, activities, cheers, and dance parties.
This day brings athletes of all abilities together on the playing field. It is not about talent, but about the power of community. The importance of this day is shining a light on a community that has been in the dark for far too long. It not only brings awareness to the Special Olympics movement, but allows people with and without intellectual disabilities to build friendships, and ultimately create more inclusive communities.
With your help, I can reach my $500 fundraising goal and make a difference in creating a more inclusive Canada! Please consider supporting the motionball executive team by making a donation - every amount makes a difference!

Thank you very much for your support,
Sam♥️
Peter's Story:
Peter first became involved with motionball’s Marathon of Sport 10 years ago, and since then has participated in countless motionball events. This year we're so excited to have Peter take on the role of motionball's Honorary Athlete Ambassador. Hear from Peter about what being part of motionball means to him:
“motionball has given me the chance to be confident and grow as an adult with an intellectual disability. The best part of motionball is meeting new friends that make me feel special and included. Inclusion is what makes the lives of people like me better, because when you are included you feel like you are part a team.!”
