Support Becca McCracken for the 2025 motionball Marathon Of Sport Western University

On March 23, I will be participating in the motionball Marathon of Sport, an exhilarating day where my team and I compete in various sports alongside Special Olympics athletes from our community. This event not only raises awareness for the Special Olympics movement but also champions the inclusion of individuals with intellectual disabilities, fostering lifelong friendships and inclusive communities.

I’ve always been passionate about making sports accessible to everyone. As volunteering with the Canadian Rugby Jaxs, an all-abilities rugby team, I’ve seen firsthand the joy and transformation that inclusive sports can bring. This experience is not just close to my heart but also a key influence in my decision to pursue a career in Occupational Therapy. In my role as an OT student, I am committed to dismantling systemic barriers that prevent children from accessing sports. Programs like the Special Olympics play a crucial role in this, providing opportunities for kids to thrive in inclusive settings.

This year, we are thrilled to see athletes like Peter, a Local Special Olympics Athlete who is our Honorary Athlete Ambassador. Having been involved with motionball for over a decade, Peter exemplifies the confidence and community integration that can flourish through these programs. He shares:

“motionball has allowed me to grow and feel included, making me part of a team where I’m valued and celebrated. The friendships I've made here are just as important as the sports we play.”

Our team has set a fundraising target of $2000. With your support, we can continue to make sports accessible to all and foster a more inclusive Canada. Please consider making a donation to our team’s fundraising page. Every contribution brings us closer to our goal.

Becca
