People with an intellectual disability are five times more likely to experience mental health issues.
Sponsoring an athlete provides specialist coaching and training in these tough times to support their physical and mental health.
Currently, 3,338 Australian athletes with an intellectual disability need help to keep them in the game.
Special Olympics receives significantly less funding than mainstream sporting organisations, so they are asking people to help raise $80,000 to support athletes over the next six months to provide the training they need to keep them in the game.
