Support Devyn Di Nardo

March 26th is hands down my favourite day of the year. No exaggeration. It’s the day we take part in the Motionball Marathon of Sport, and I look forward to it the way some people look forward to birthdays or holidays.

It’s a high energy fundraiser where our team plays sports alongside local Special Olympics athletes and it’s pure joy from start to finish. Think friendly competition, chaotic team cheers, and a whole lot of laughter. It’s sweaty, loud, a little ridiculous at times… and completely amazing.

What makes it so special to me isn’t just the sports it’s the people. I love the bond that forms with my own team as we train, fundraise, and show up together. But even more than that, I love the connection we build with the Special Olympics athletes. The high fives, the inside jokes, the genuine encouragement, the way everyone celebrates each other’s wins like they’re Olympic gold medals. This event really reminds us that ability levels don’t define anyone; effort, spirit, and heart do.

This event is close to my heart because it’s about inclusion in action. Not just talking about it, living it. It’s about building friendships, breaking down barriers, and creating the kind of community I want to be part of. Every year I raise money because I believe so deeply in what this movement stands for, and because I’ve seen firsthand the impact it has.

I have a $750 fundraising goal this year, and I would truly love your support. Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference and helps create more opportunities for athletes to train, compete, and belong.

Thank you for supporting something that means so much to me. I promise I’ll run, cheer, and probably trip over a cone in your honour.
