On Saturday May 24th I’m excited to once again be Captaining a Molson team at the Motionball Marathon of Sport, bringing athletes of all abilities together on the playing field. While fundraising is one of our goals, Marathon of Sport is about so much more. This day not only brings awareness to the Special Olympics movement but allows people with and without intellectual disabilities to interact, build lifelong friendships, and ultimately create more inclusive communities!
As many of you know, my participation in Motionball continues to be fueled by the additon of Zach in our lives along with many of the amazing friends we have made with the special Olympic athletes. Zach, who will turn FIVE May 14th continues to be a beacon of light for our family and continues to leave an impact on everyone he meets. Our family is excited to one day have Zach join the Special Olympic family and through initiatives driven through incredible organizations like Motionball will help provide the road map to do so!
If your wondering the impact events like this have on the special Olympic athletes, don't take my word for it - hear it from my good friend Pistol Pete
“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!”
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.
Thank you very much for your support,
David
