Our Sargent Shriver Global Messengers are chosen from among top athlete leaders around the world. They're athletes, and they're spokespeople for our movement.

Spread the Word

We think the world would be better if everyone were included. Around the world, exclusion and discrimination continue to divide people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are changing that with grassroots action for inclusion. That’s Spread the Word.
