Communities urged to get fit for Special Olympics athletes

PEOPLE who are struggling to exercise regularly were yesterday urged to think again to help Special Olympic athletes.

Communities across the country will be taking part in a €16 million fundraiser to increase the number of athletes from 8,000 to 16,000.

Minister of State at the Department of Health Sean Power said the Go campaign, which will run over the next two months, was a great reason for people to start exercising.
