After the Special Olympics National Games held in Melbourne in October last year a squad was picked to compete at the 2015 Special Olympics World Games being held in Los Angeles, California
“From 25 July – 2 August 2015, Team Australia athletes will wear the green and gold with pride in Los Angeles, USA for the biggest ever Special Olympics World Summer Games. They will be amongst 7,000 Special Olympics athletes from 177 countries in the biggest celebration of ability ever seen!” – quote from the Aus Special Olympics website
Each team has it’s own fundraising page, so if you would like to donate to the Softball squad you can follow this link.
