Why the Just for Smiles cause is important to me
– In Switzerland, Just for Smiles plays a unique and invaluable role in giving children whose physical mobility is severely restricted access to adapted physical activities. Not only is this a source of happiness and well-being for them, it also supports them in their development and health.
An achievement that is close to my heart
– To have been able to scientifically demonstrate in partnership with the Foundation that tandem skiing stimulates cardiac activity and movement control in severely disabled children.
My vision for the future for Just for Smiles
– I’d like to see Just for Smiles continue to expand its services, in order to offer more regular adapted physical activities, throughout the year, to children who have few opportunities to move around.
