Runner Michael Murray Heads to Global Games with Help from Community Sponors

Private sponsorships from friends and local businesses keep Michaels Paralympic Dream alive as the he heads to the 2011 INAS/IPC Global Games in Imperia, Italy.

Friends and family members of Michael Murray, the highest ranked track athlete with intellectual disability in the US, spearheaded a local fundraising campaign to help offset Michael’s out-of-pocket expenses for the 2011 Global Games in Italy. The Global Games is an important qualifier for the London 2012 Paralympics and Michael represents the best chance for a US runner to qualify in the T20 class.

Athletes Without Limits would like to thank Nashville Illusions USA Track & Field Club and all those who contributed at the local benefits for supporting Michael’s Paralympic dream.
