On September 26th I have the privilege of putting on another Marathon of Sport. We will be integrating young professionals and Special Olympic athletes through different activities hosted by @tessavirtue17. For myself and many of my friends this is our favourite day of the year; it allows us to experience the power that sport has to bring us together. Additionally we have the opportunity to fundraise for an organization @specialosask that ensures all people, no matter their ability, have a chance to participate in sport and gain all the benefits of sport that we were able to.
.
As you can imagine the event is going to look a bit different this year; however it is still important to move ahead- Special Olympic athletes have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and we need to ensure their programs are sustainable as soon as they can start up again.
.
This movement is so important to me that I’ve decided to continue to run the event, with my amazing team, after moving to Ireland (while also starting medical school). Middle of the night meetings aren’t ideal, but it’s worth it 😴.
.
So how can you HELP?:
☑️ join my team, it’s free (there’s no fundraising required this year and you do NOT have to be athletic), you’ll get to meet a few Special Olympic athletes and some of my wonderful friends and have a few beers after or;
☑️ Donate at https://mball.ca/Davyk; a donation of $20 or more gets you free accommodation in Ireland and a Guinness on me or;
☑️start your own team
