Special Olympics GB is thrilled to announce that James Toseland - former double World Superbikes Champion turned rock music artist and icon - has with Toby Jepson written, produced and re-recorded ‘We’ll Stop at Nothing’ to become the 2017 Official Special Olympics National Summer Games Anthem. The song is being released today with all profits going to the charity.
Born in South Yorkshire, James was the 2004 and 2007 World Superbike Champion. Post Superbikes, James’ career has taken off in the world of music, fronting Toseland who have released two critically acclaimed albums and toured the UK and Europe, sharing stages with some of rock music’s biggest names.
‘We’ll Stop At Nothing’ originally appeared on the Toseland album ‘Cradle The Rage’ where the track was spotted by Special Olympics GB. James was then invited to re-record the track along with the sensational Sheffield Choir ‘ChorusUK’ recently at the wonderful Sheffield City Hall, who assisted the project brilliantly.
Special Olympics GB’s National Games are to be held in Sheffield and South Yorkshire this August and will see in the region of 2,600 athletes with learning disabilities take part in 20 sports events. Special Olympics GB’s tenth National Summer Games will be held for the second time in Sheffield - the first time was back in the steel city in 1993. This is the largest disability sports event of 2017 and entry is free to the public for all sporting action.
Special Olympics GB is the largest registered charity providing year round sports training and competition opportunities for people with intellectual (learning) disabilities. The National Summer Games will open on Tuesday 8th August - with a spectacular Opening Ceremony at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane - and will continue with four days of sport.
James and his band Toseland will perform the Official Special Olympics Games Anthem at the conclusion of the Opening Ceremony.
The song can now be purchased immediately with all profits going to Special Olympics GB. Link to buy the song here: itunes.apple.c...
The National Games is the showpiece event every four years for Special Olympics GB and its athletes. Almost 1.5 million people in the UK (2% of the population) have an intellectual disability.
James commented: “I am proud to have written, produced and re-recorded this song as the Official Anthem for Special Olymics GB’s National Games in Sheffield.
“Coming from the area, I know how passionate the people in Yorkshire are for their sport and they will embrace the athletes, family and friends of Special Olympics.
“The highlight of my sporting career was to win the World Superbike Championship for two different manufacturers but music gives me a different but same amount of joy.
“I hope in this song I have captured the energy, spirit, passion and fun of Special Olympics GB and their brilliant athletes.
“When I wrote the lyrics to ‘We'll Stop At Nothing’ I had just been forced to retire from being a sportsman and the song is all about fighting to get back up again when we all inevitably get knocked down.
“Seeing the incredibly brave athletes pushing themselves to the limits regardless of their individual disabilities, captures their resilience and adaptability to succeed regardless of the challenges ahead.
“Being a part of the Special Olympics GB has given my song the exact narrative it was written about.”
“I'm very excited about the event in August.”
Karen Wallin, CEO of Special Olympics GB said: “It is tremendous that James has re-recorded ‘We’ll Stop At Nothing’ for us to use as the 2017 Special Olympics Games Anthem and that he is donating all profits to the charity.
“We are thrilled James has become an Ambassador and is already helping us to raise awareness of the work that we do across the country every day and for the athletes with intellectual disabilities that we work with.”

It brings a person to tears! Thanks and keep playing your music....are you coming back (I remember the Indy Days) to the USA?

If this beautifully-crafted song had been done by some cool, trendy, in-vogue, look-at-me pop narcissist, it would have been a global #1 hit. What a shame that (as per Lee Crawley's comment below) it stayed totally under the radar.

[@Tracks777]

Great stuff :)

Ace song, Ace band, Ace event. Obviously people with lower IQ's prefer to watch X-Craptor than support bands like this and give decent air time to great events like this.

Is there anywhere else other than the evil empire's store to buy the tune and still benefit the cause?
