Special Olympics Australia

Victorian State Championships - April 2023

Very excited to see some friends and compete last weekend in the Special Olympics Victorian State Championships! It was a great practice run for World Games.

National Games trip 2022

My favorite competition so far has been National Games in Launceston October 2022! I made lots of new friends and was so excited to compete.
I am so proud to be part of Team Australia and travel to Berlin in 2023!

Will you get me to the World Games?

I'm so proud to have been picked to wear the green and gold at the World Games in Berlin.

To be part of an Australian team and go overseas will be a dream come true. I need to raise $9,000 to get there. That’s a lot of money and I need your help!

Will you please donate today and get me to Berlin? I promise I will do my best and make Australia proud. If you donate through this page YOUR money goes directly towards MY fundraising goal.

You can donate any amount you want, but I like these amounts:

$64 because it represents each athlete

$28 because it represents each official

$92 because it represents the whole team

$150 because it’s just a good number!

I’m told that donations of $2 and over are tax-deductible, so please donate and help me get to the Games.

I’ll let our team know that you’re awesome because you support us. Thank you!
