We show our will to help handicapped people live a normal life also with the possibilities of self-assertion in sport. Me personally as the First Lady and as the president of the foundation Education and Health for Everybody always support such activities. I always admire people who overcome themselves. Because of that I and our partner Motor-Car Slovensko decided to lend for 1 year the car Mercedes Vito for free to the Slovak Union of Medically Handicapped Sportlers. I´m glad the car serves to full satisfaction of handicapped sportlers and tennis players for their transport to tournaments in Slovakia and abroad. I will try to extend the term of lending the car at Motor-Car for you that you can use it for a longer time“, promised Mrs. Silvia Gašparovičová. |
