In the past I have volunteered at Special Olympic events. It is a great cause with amazing and dedicated athletes. Through my gym, Team Moljo I am committing to riding the air bike throughout the month of May to burn a total of 10,000 calories. They have organized a fundraiser to support these incredible athletes. I have set a goal to raise $500 and the gym as a whole is looking to raise $5000. Any donation would help achieve our goal.

Help me sponsor Special Olympics New York athletes. Competitive sports breed common ground. Athletes, coaches and the people who support them come together for the love of a sport or the thrill of a game. Not everyone wins.

Through Special Olympics New York, though, everyone is included. Athletes with intellectual disabilities have the opportunity to challenge themselves in fair and even competition. Win or lose, they develop their own character, make friends and find unknown wells of determination within themselves.
