'Right to Sport' campaign
We started this campaign because we believe that every child everywhere in the world deserves some quality in his youth. Sports is one of these qualities and that's why we started the 'Right To Sport' campaign. Each year we support someone or something to help him/her/them discover the wonders of sports.
A word from the sponsor of this campaign, Pieter Dries:
"For several years I am good friends with the president of Progress Sports and I became a fan of this organization. Among the new projects will be a charity from 2011: helping people who find it more difficult to participate in sports! This can be very well seen. The bottom line is that through this project we will be given financial backing.
This concept immediately wondered me. I was therefore very concerned because I myself started exercising 15 years ago under difficult circumstances. I suffer from a permanent disability. I started with wheelchair basketball and play it now at a very high level. For several years I have become better known by my participation in "Beyond the Border", a TV program where people with disabilities had to cope with very harsh tests. And so they saw in me a perfect sponsor for their charity!
Hopefully next year we can make many people happy ... "
