Hi Family and Friends!! As many of you know, i've been passionately involved with Special Olympics since 2012. In 2022, I will be celebrating my 10 years of being a proud Clinical Director of SO SoCal and wanted to ask you all to help out with donations to support our athletes with intellectual disabilities. 2021 has been a hard year for everyone. More than ever, these athletes need your help. For my birthday this year, I wanted to ask anyone who can donate just $1 for this cause. Furthermore, I know I have a lot of UCLA and USC friends who might want to donate to this cause as a ways to compete to see which team will win!!! This special "We Run the City" event is a huge rivalry to see if UCLA or USC supporters donate more to take the trophy and bragging rights!! Even if USC wins the competition, I welcome all Trojans to donate as all the money will go to SOSC =) To my UCLA Bruins... let's try to take the win another year for We Run the City! Even if you are unable to donate, I appreciate you spreading awareness and learning about SOSC! 

With Love, 

Maria Dieu-Aglipay, PT, DPT (Pediatric Physical Therapist and Director of Education at Carrico Pediatric Therapy, Inc. and Clinical Director of SOSC FUNFitness)
