Each year for my birthday, I like to take on a fun challenge or plan a big outdoor adventure. This year I have decided to do a 12 hour race called Jackrabbit Jubilee. Since it’s pretty dang hot in Arizona in August, the race runs through the night, starting at 7pm and ending at 7am. You run as much as you can or want to in 12 hours on a short 1/2 mile loop course, stopping as needed to eat or rest. My primary goal is to run at least 34 miles to celebrate 34 years. Once past that distance I will shoot for 40 which would be my longest distance yet. Heck if that feels good we’ll go for 50. This kind of race is a huge challenge for me, I hate repetition. And birthdays are pretty arbitrary, they don’t motivate me that much. So I’ve decided that I’ll do it in support of Special Olympics. Please support me and help me raise $3400 on my 34th birthday. Why Special Olympics? My brother Joe loves sports, playing and watching them. Special Olympics has made it possible for him to be an athlete, experience team sports, and find friends to play basketball, soccer, bowling and more with. Everyone deserves to be an athlete, special olympics makes that possible. Help me support what they do by donating and sharing with friends to help get to $3400.

In honor of my Grampy, Edward Becerra, I decided to raise money for Special Olympics this year for my birthday. My Grampy lost his battle to COVID May 20th, 2021. My Grampy was a dreamer and nothing gave him greater joy than watching people overcome obstacles and achieve whatever they set their minds to. This organization is one that held a special place in his heart and he donated often. Though he may be gone, his goals to make this world a better place live on and my intentions are to pick up where he left off. The funds raised towards Special Olympics will be donated in his name and memory. No donation is too small and all are greatly appreciated. God Bless You!
For the last year 10 years, I have volunteered for the Special Olympics and this foundation means the world to me! For my 35th Birthday this year… I am asking for a small amount of generosity to help support the future generation of children! Thank you in advance . to help an excellent cause and help support the next generation
For my birthday this year, I'm asking for a donation to the Special Olympics in lieu of a gift!!! This organization means the world to me. My son, Anders, has nonverbal autism. He is the center of my universe literally; he has played in the Special Olympics games before and it has meant the absolute world to him and to us as his parents for him to be able to participate in something like this. Something quote unquote normal! As you know the normal fun activities for children with special needs like my son can be very limited. The Special Olympics organization makes it possible for these children to experience the joy that they are often deprived of because of their special needs. As a parent this is heartbreaking to watch your child being left out! We all want the best for our children, and we special needs parents are no different! If you would consider donating, it would mean the absolute world to me; a small donation will help this wonderful organization continue to make it possible for children like Anders to be included in these fun activities and games and to experience the childhood joys that all children should be able to experience no matter their special needs! Thank you so much!!!
Instead of making it about me, I decided to create an event that supports inclusion and celebrates the opportunity for teamwork and athletic competition. The Special Olympics has made it possible for millions of people worldwide to express themselves and put their talents on display. Help me raise some funds and awareness for an awesome organization!
Family and friends... as I celebrate turning 40 with you this year, I cannot help but to reflect on the blessings I have been fortunate to receive in my life over the last 40 years! They are countless and I am grateful for each and every single one. One of the blessings that I cherish is my ability to run and compete as athlete! It's an amazing feeling of accomplishment to cross the finish line. Running brings such a great sense of freedom...it allows you to be present and focus on the here and now. Running also brings a sense of community as runners and teammates cheer each other on. I could go on and on about my love of the sport and the endless benefits... :) I'd love to support Special Olympics for my birthday this year so that these special athletes continue to experience the blessing of competing in their chosen sports! This charity is special to me because I have a dear friend whose sister participates in Special Olympics. Thank you for considering a donation in celebration of my birthday! Love, Diane
For my 34th birthday , I am asking for donations to my favorite charity! The feeling of helping children makes my heart full ♥️ Thanks in advance Heather Shendell
Welcome to my 2021 birthday fundraising event! This year I have chosen to raise money for the Special Olympics organization. I have been so blessed to be able to coach athletes all the way to the State Level of the Special Olympics and have witnessed the incomparable community that the Special Olympics offer to differently-abled athletes. Help me continue to make the Special Olympics, and all the benefits they offer, available to every athlete!

Happy 40th Birthday Donnie! Donnie’s compassion was one of the traits I fell in love with. He has always had a special place in his heart for the Special Olympics, often volunteering! In lieu of gifts please consider donating to this worthy cause!
Hey friends, I care a lot about being helpful and kind to people that need help doing activities like sports and school. In my opinion everyone should be able to play a sport no matter what is stopping them. Instead of birthday presents for me please help donate money to help others be better at things they want to do. thanks. hudson
I was first introduced to Special Olympics at a young age tagging along with my brother Jeff to his basketball practices at the old Boston College Plex. Now as a Senior at BC and a member of BC’s own Special Olympics team, my relationship with the organization has come full circle. Throughout my life, I have been lucky enough to witness firsthand the joy and happiness S.O. brings to people with intellectual or physical disabilities. If you know me or Jeff in any way I have no doubt you understand how important of an impact it has had on both of our lives. For my 22nd birthday this year please consider donating to the Special Olympics in our honor. No amount is too small and I will be matching each donation made!
In lieu of birthday gifts, Enzo has chosen to donate to the Special Olympics in honor of his friend's grandfather who recently passed away. Thank you for your support!

Twelve years I started as a volunteer coach with UCLA Special Olympics. I’m so grateful for the memories I’ve made throughout the years as a volunteer and being able to meet talented athletes not only in California but other cities I’ve called home in New York and Florida too. For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to Special Olympics Florida. I've chosen this nonprofit because their mission means a lot to me, and I hope you'll consider contributing as a way to celebrate with me. Every little bit will help me reach my goal. I've included information about Special Olympics Florida below. Special Olympics Florida provides year-round sports training and competition to children and adults with intellectual disabilities, at no cost to the athlete or their caregiver as a means to achieve physical fitness, self-esteem and the life skills necessary to be productive, respected and contributing members of their communities.
