Alphatron Marine is pleased to support employees and families in achieving special and unique challenges in life…..

The Special Olympics World Games is the world’s largest humanitarian sporting event and a global movement which focuses on the empowerment of People of Determination with intellectual disabilities through the power of sport.

The Special Olympics World Games 2019 will be hosted in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in March 2019. Over 7,000 athletes from over 170 countries will be coming to compete in a series of sports, as well as a variety of initiatives and activities held across the seven Emirates.

During the World Games, athletes can show their talents and skills on a world level and show that they deserve as much respect and appreciation as anyone else. Under the motto “changing lives, changing attitudes” the Netherlands will join this special event and send a delegation of 80 athletics participating in sports like tennis, judo, athletics, gymnastics, swimming, horse riding, sailing etc.

My son, Danny de Korte, will be participating as a member of TeamNL and come out in athletics on 100 meter sprint, shot put and 400 meter estafette.

Danny was born with very low muscle power, not able to cry or to drink by himself. After 4 weeks Danny was diagnosed with Prader Willi Syndrome. The following years Danny become stronger and was able to go to education and started at the local Athletics sport club. We have never dared to dream Danny will participating a sports event like the Special Olympics.

Alphatron is sponsoring Danny in his goal to win a Medaille at the Special Olympics World Games.

Be a supporter of TeamNL and Danny!
