We all take our ability to do things such as run and play sports for granted. I for one spent a long portion of my life avoiding any kind of activity as I "couldn't be bothered".

 However, there are people who can't and don't take these things for granted, and getting behind a cause like the Special Olympics allows everyone to have the same access to sports and fitness as everyone else does.

So, please donate not just for the shock of knowing that I'm finally running but for the people who will benefit from it :)
