Boost for Special Olympics team ahead of winter games

Sports Reporter

THE Zimbabwe Special Olympics Games team got a morale booster ahead of their trip to Berlin in Germany for the winter games in June. 

The team that has been in camp last month received a donation of US$15 000, which will be channelled to the refurbishment of tennis courts that they will use during their preparations. 

Luke Watson’s Lion Heart Foundation came on board to assist Team Zimbabwe, who in the past have won several medals in athletics, golf and borsch. 

Lion Heart Foundation is chaired by 18-year-old Luke Watson, who is a student at a United Kingdom University. 

The foundation will refurbish three tennis courts to the tune of US$15 000 for use by the Zimbabwe Special Olympics team preparing for the World Games in Germany this coming June. 

They have also donated a kit that includes 200 tennis rackets, 200 tennis balls, 200 t-shirts, 50 tracksuits and 100 medals. They have also spruced up the Prince Edward tennis pavilion for use by special Olympics Zimbabwe athletes.
