Nous sommes en train de gagner. Je ne parle pas de ce match, mais de notre bataille pour rendre le parasport plus accessible et plus visible !. Dans 325 jours, les athlètes paralympiques feront rêver le monde depuis la France ! La Nation sera derrière nos champions.

“The Paralympic Games is a showcase of what persons w/ disabilities can achieve, when barriers to succeed are removed. Just imagine how that system of inclusion can work if applied to other areas of society such as education, employment, infrastructure and transport” - 7th MINEPS

Gestão de entidade esportiva demanda profissionalismo. Nos últimos anos, @Corinthians e sua torcida vêm sofrendo com uma administração desastrada e amadora. No futebol masculino viramos coadjuvantes e no aspecto financeiro ñ houve avanço. É preciso mudar de atitude! #Corinthians

We just lost one of the greatest activist for the rights of persons with disabilities. An example, a role model. We will keep your legacy alive. We will continue fighting to guarantee the rights of every person with a disability on the planet. Rest in peace, @judithheumann !!.
