Be Brave

As a child, Marlon was bullied and taunted for being slow. His norm was that of exclusion and isolation. Now, at 41, he is a national sports champion, proving that nothing is impossible for people with intellectual disabilities.

When a society misunderstands and underestimates the capabilities of people with intellectual disabilities (ID), opportunities are lost. Special Olympics athletes prove every day that people with ID are capable of so much more than we imagine. Watch Brina Maxino as she continues to shatter stereotypes and smiles her way to the top.

This Christmas, be a not-so-secret Santa to people with intellectual disabilities. Help our athletes shatter stereotypes and #BreakMyNorm with a gift of $20. Your support can transform lives and help fulfill their dreams! Link in bio to donate now!
