Story

Luka, Dijana and Olly will be taking on the challenge of a marathon in April, with Olly at Brighton on 12th and Luka and Dijana at London on 26th. Luka will be part of a nine strong team of Special Olympic athletes and we will be raising funds for Special Olympics GB. The London Marathon has looked to increase the number of participants with disabilities and we have taken on the challenge. We have been training hard together and are looking forward to participating. We have seen the massive benefit that sport has been for Luka and SOGB help promote sporting activity and competition for people of all abilities.

SOGB has a network of grassroots clubs across the country offering sporting opportunities for children and adults with an intellectual disability. These clubs give athletes a safe space to make friends, learn social skills, feel part of a community, increase their confidence and realise their potential. SOGB is the UK's largest provider of sports training and competition for people with intellectual disabilities, and has a pathway, running from weekly training sessions to regional, national and international competitions, giving our athletes the opportunity to compete on the world stage. https://www.specialolympicsgb.org.uk/

Many thanks for your support,

Olly, Dijana and Luka
