On Monday, August 19, at 9am, a group of thirty people set off on a tricycle ride from Saint-Pol-de-Léon towards Paris. Their goal: to promote inclusion of people with disabilities in sports. The journey will end in the capital on Wednesday, August 28, just in time for the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games.
This initiative, organized by the association « Sport for All », aims to raise awareness about the importance of including people with disabilities in the world of sports. The participants, who come from all walks of life, are motivated by their shared passion for promoting diversity and equality in sports.
The tricycles, which are three-wheeled bicycles with a cargo platform, symbolize the determination and perseverance of the riders, who will cover a distance of over 600 kilometers. Through this journey, they hope to send a strong message of solidarity and inclusivity to society.
The group will make several stops along the way, engaging with local communities and spreading their message. They will also meet with various sports clubs and organizations to discuss ways to make sports more accessible for people with disabilities.
This journey is not only a physical challenge, but also a way to showcase the abilities and potential of people with disabilities. With their determination and courage, the riders are breaking down barriers and proving that anything is possible.
Their arrival in Paris on August 28 will be a momentous event, coinciding with the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games. The group will join the other athletes from around the world, showing their support for the Paralympic movement and celebrating the spirit of determination and inclusivity.

As the riders make their way to Paris, let us all join in their journey and support their cause. Let us celebrate diversity and bouture inclusivity in sports, and in our society as a whole. Together, we can create a more inclusive world for all.
