INCLUSIVE IMPACTIVITY at Abu Dhabi Run + Ride!
Last weekend was a great weekend, participating in the Abu Dhabi Run + Ride event; a free, inclusive, community event by Abu Dhabi Sports Council
There was a 4km fun run, followed later by 12km bike ride and lots of fun, active entertainment in the family race village!
It was great to be at an event that was accessible and included all the community! Thank you Department of Community Development, Abu Dhabi for recognising the importance of this and making accessibility and inclusion happen.
It was a fun, great well organised event with over 20,000 participants, it felt like a real community day - well done LinkViva Events and Gulf Multi Sports on a successful day!
Rio loved both his races!
He was especially honoured to run alongside H.E Dr. Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili and his team! Thank you Dr. Mugheer for your time, energy and kindness you showed to Rio by running with him and pushing his chair for some of the route! Another wonderful example and role model of leadership leading by example with community inclusion - thank you; it does make a big impact and difference for change with inclusion!
Rio was also delighted to see his friends from UAE Special Olympics participating in the races too! Their team have some truly amazing athletes! It was great to catch up with the UAESO management team!
The highlight of the day, was the launch of the “Move United” program by Department of Community Development, Abu Dhabi - such a great program creating a more inclusive, active community! Moved United supports the Universal Access Pillar to inclusive community sports.
It was an honour to meet H.H Sheikh Nahyan bin Zayed Al Nahyan @nbz who opened the launch of the program.
Wonderful to be able to spend some time with the amazing team in DCD - H.E Dr. Layla Al Hayas, Mubarak Salem Al Ameri, Sara Bachar - thank you!
