I am so proud to be sharing that I have joined Side Launch for the 2026 motionball Marathon of Sport. This year, on ​​October 3rd, my Team and I will be taking the field, alongside local Special Olympics athletes for a full day of sports, fun and inclusivity!

Today, we are inviting you to become a part of this amazing event by helping us reach our Team fundraising goal of $5,000. A tax receiptable donation of $20 will make a direct, local impact on Special Olympics athletes, like Braeden.

Braeden joined Special Olympics in 2024, and since then has participated in swimming, basketball, baseball, and soccer. For the inaugural Marathon of Sport Collingwood, we're so excited to have Braeden take on the role of motionball's Honorary Athlete Ambassador. Hear from Braeden about what he is most excited about:

“As the first ever honorary athlete for motionball Collingwood, I’m looking forward to having fun at the event and representing Special Olympics Collingwood!”

While a $5,000 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.
