The goal of the tour – beside to be an occasion for friends to be together – is to draw attention to the circumtances and chances of disabled children, to help them to receive more support.
On this first tour Veronika’s Dad will be the captian of the Flagship. We hope that the tour will also help to collect the donations needed to reach the main goal, the SDR operation.
We are awaiting for everyone who wants to join the tour, and anyone who can support us with advice, sport equipment, sponsors, or media connections.
Every single help is a drop of energy, which helps me to row through the sea of difficulties to reach an easier and happier life.
