Sporting Dreams

Sporting dreams is a foundation assisting people with physical disabilities to enjoy fun, fitness and personal development through sport and to achieve their sporting dreams- becoming role models for a fit and healthy lifestyle in the process. Our aim is to change lives through sport by providing grants to help people with physical disabilities become involved in sport and even unearth some future champions The Grants are open to beginner and developing athletes and are awarded once a year, covering equipment, training and competition costs. Sporting Dreams was founded by Paralympic medal winning swimmer Marayke Jonkers in 2008. Marayke always wanted to give something back to sport, which has given her so many opportunities. When Marayke won $10,000 as the inaugural Cosmopolitan Magazine fun fearless female she decided to use the money to start sporting Dreams. All funds are now raised through Marayke delivering motivational speeches to corporate audiences.
