Too Peas In A Podcast goes to the Special Olympics National Games 2022! In this week’s special episode, Mandy reports from Launceston, Tasmania, at the week-long national sporting competition for athletes with intellectual disabilities.

With 750 athletes from all over Australia competing across 10 different sports, 600 volunteers and staff plus family, friends, support workers, partners, ambassadors and supporters, the Games were a joyful, inclusive and impeccably organised experience allowing every athlete to shine.

Along with supporting her daughter Molly who participated in the athletics for Team VIC, Mandy spent hours talking to amazing athletes, parents, team supporters, the game changer volunteers, Special Olympics staff, support workers, sponsors and more. Shout out to honorary Too Peas host and Team Vic athlete Harry for grabbing the mic and conducting some brilliant interviews himself – listen and enjoy!

Stay tuned for Part 2 coming up next week.
