Sam Holtel — Special Olympics France

In 2025 I volunteered at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Turin and Sestriere. It changed my life. I watched athletes show up with more joy, grit, and heart than I'd ever seen on any start line, and I left knowing I wanted my running to mean something bigger than my own finish time. That's why I race for causes now. Paris is also my shot at qualifying for Boston, so I'll be giving this one everything I have. I'm filming the whole journey, from training to race day, to share the stories of the people and communities I meet along the way. My goal is to raise €500 for Special Olympics France. Every euro helps athletes train, compete, and feel the same pride I saw in Italy. If you can give, thank you. If you can share, that helps just as much. See you in Paris.
