<div>Dear donors,</div><br><div>
<strong>A huge THANK YOU</strong> to everyone who contributed to the funding of Pierre's rugby chair! Thanks to your generosity and unwavering support, Pierre will be able to live out his passion for armchair rugby 100% with Equipe de France! 🏈 </div><br><div>
<strong>This human adventure reminds us once again that united we stand</strong>.</div><div>Together, we've proved that solidarity can move mountains and make accessible what seemed out of reach. </div><br><div>However, it's important to emphasize that the wheelchairs essential to the practice of handisport represent a considerable investment. Their high cost remains a major barrier to access to sport for all. </div><div>Let's continue to mobilize so that sport is accessible to all!</div><br><div>🙏 <strong>Once again, THANK YOU for Pierre and for all the other disabled athletes who dream of living their passion. </strong>
</div>

 Together, we achieved the impossible for Pierre!

Pierrot Parasurf World Champion

<div>
<strong>From accident to French team in one year, Pierre's incredible journey!</strong> <br>After suffering a terrible accident in 2021, which left him an amputee, Pierre bounced back by discovering armchair rugby in 2022. <br>Today, he's selected for the French team! 🏆 <br>But to shine on international fields, he needs an adapted wheelchair. Thanks to your support, we'll be able to give him the essential tool to realize his dreams and become a champion.🧑‍🦽 <br>The Carrefour Foundation has helped us with Dift to buy his chair, but we're still short of part of the funding. <br>  </div><div><strong>A chair is much more than just a seat for Pierre!</strong></div><div>It's his secret weapon, his work tool. It's what allows him to express all his talent on the pitch. But to perform at the highest level, he needs a tailor-made chair. <br>The chair will also be made available to his sports club, Aingirak Euskaldi, for disability awareness initiatives.<br> <br><strong>Thank you for helping us provide him with the means to proudly represent France at upcoming competitions. </strong>
</div><div>🏈 Pierre's next match is on November 21 against Ireland! </div>

A chair to defend the colors of France!
