Benefits

The funds raised by La Randonnée Jimmy Pelletier and Spin-O-Cage allow us to acquire adapted material and sports equipment.  These equipment are precious to begin a step in adapted sports and its loan increases considerably the accessibility, as much for the disabled person as for his family circle.

In concrete, these equipment allowed us to :

  • To start off a hockey activity for all (the introduction of hockey to youths and teenagers with coordination acquisition disorder)
  • To organize more than 15 initiation events and demonstration of adapted sports (para cycling discovery test clinic, para nordic skiing, curling in a wheelchair, sitting volleyball, sledge hockey, etc.)
  • To manage and support activities of two para cycling clubs on a regular basis during summertime (loan of adapted bike for the first year of membership)
  • To manage and support sledge hockey club activities
  • To lend adapted equipment to families (loan of para nordic luge, loan of beach wheelchair Hippocampe)
