Téléthon 2026 — Ambassador
This year, I have the enormous privilege of being chosen as an ambassador for Téléthon 2026.
I am proud to represent Téléthon and look forward to sharing this adventure with the people in the organisation.
I would already like to thank everyone who works and commits their time to Téléthon, as well as the many volunteers who organise activities throughout Switzerland.
Téléthon Switzerland helps people with rare genetic diseases and their families. The money raised supports, in particular, research into genetic and neuromuscular diseases, as well as social assistance and different forms of support for the people affected and their loved ones. All the funds raised after costs remain in Switzerland.
As Duchenne muscular dystrophy is directly part of my life, this mission is particularly close to my heart. I am therefore very happy and proud to contribute as an ambassador for Téléthon 2026. ❤️🇨🇭
My partners & supporters
To play Powerchair Hockey, I need an electric wheelchair specially designed for competition.
When I started, I played with a sports wheelchair lent to me by my team. It was already quite old and, as I progressed, it was no longer sufficiently adapted for the level at which I was playing.
I therefore needed a new competition wheelchair, but this kind of equipment is very expensive.
I was fortunate to receive support from several people, associations and companies to help fund this new wheelchair.
A large part of the funding was made possible thanks to Étoile Filante, through a person who wished to remain anonymous. Their support was enormous and played an essential role in making this project happen.
I would like to sincerely thank all the people, associations and companies who made this project possible. Thanks to their generosity, I now have a wheelchair adapted for competition and can continue to pursue my goals in Powerchair Hockey.
Thank you to everyone who makes this adventure possible. ❤️🏑
