“Tomorrow is an enterprise full of meaning: the brigand in handbike, the 545 km journey made by, young Calabrian with spastic tetraparesis, who crossed Calabria in handbike from Laino Borgo to Reggio Calabria.
Promoted by Bolt Foundation and small 3 -wheeled devils, with the patronage of the Region, The initiative is a concrete example of inclusive sport, capable of uniting territories, people and values. A path that touched four natural parks – Pollino, Sila, Serre and Aspromonte – and launched a clear message: the inclusion is possible, if the barriers, including cultural barriers are reduced.
Sport is a fundamental tool for active participation, especially for the most fragile. The Calabria Region is engaged in this direction with projects such as ‘Calabria for young people’, ‘University Sport Young Community’ and ‘superability’, to promote well -being and equal opportunities through sports.
I invite everyone to participate on Thursday 12 June at 18.15 in Piazza Italia in Reggio Calabria to welcome Salvatore Cristiano with a symbolic embrace by the whole Calabrian community “.
