Support Alex Porringa

I am so proud to be sharing that I have joined The Spartans for the 2026 motionball Marathon of Sport presented by Scarborough Toyota. This year, on ​​May 23rd, my Team and I will be taking the field, alongside local Special Olympics athletes for a full day of sports, fun and inclusivity!

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. The highlight of this event each year is having the opportunity to compete alongside local Special Olympics athletes like Nicole.

Nicole has been part of motionball for 11 years, participating in Marathon of Sport events across many cities and university campuses. Through motionball, she stays active, builds friendships, and helps raise awareness and funding for Special Olympics athletes. Hear from Nicole about what being part of motionball means to her:

“Being part of motionball makes me happy because I get to play sports with my friends, meet new people, and help raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics. The support from motionball gives me the chance to train, compete, and be the best I can be.”

While a $3,500 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.
