I am so proud to be sharing that I have joined TEG 1 for the 2025 motionball Marathon of Sport presented by Scarborough Toyota. This year, on May 24, my Team and I will be taking the field, alongside local Special Olympics athletes for a full day of sports, fun and inclusivity!
Today, I am inviting you to become a part of this amazing event by helping us reach our Team fundraising goal of $150,000. A tax receiptable donation of $20 will make a direct, local impact on Special Olympics athletes, like Peter.
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!”
While a $150,000 fundraising target is one of our Team goals, Marathon of Sport is about so much more! Through events like this, motionball raises awareness and funds for the Special Olympics movement and allows people with and without intellectual disabilities to connect, build new friendships, celebrate differences and ultimately create more inclusive communities across Canada.
With your help, we can reach our fundraising goal and make a difference in creating a more inclusive Canada! Please consider supporting our Team by making a donation directly to our fundraising page.
Every donation makes a difference.

Paul
