Prudential RideLondon 2019 · 4 August 2019 ·

Special Olympics GB is the largest provider of year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults of ALL abilities with intellectual disabilities. With more than 6,500 athletes, we are so much more than just a sport organisation - we genuinely transform lives.

Story

To be honest I wasn’t going to ask for donations. I feel bad asking people when they are already innundated with requests.  Some of you will know that I was stabbed earlier in the year and doing the Prudential ride again with my brother Ben just seemed like a nice goal and a fun day out, hopefully in the sun !

But since we partnered with Special Olympics and I’ve got to see the work in more detail and met some of the athletes , Ive been humbled and inspired .  Our research shows what a battle people with intellectual disabilities face every day with others at best not knowing how to treat or talk to them and at worst bullying and demeaning them.  SO is amazing, using  sports as a way for people with intellectual disabilities to get the respect they deserve and fulfil their potential.  And what’s more it’s SOs 50th anniversary this year .  

Check them out on https://www.specialolympics.org/our-work/sports-and-games or have a look at their twitter page @specialolympics
