Our 2011 events
December 2011: Financing of a rehabilitation device (motorized therapeutic movement trainer specially adapted to children's needs).
To help Solann's skeleton, muscles and tendons avoid sclerosis, several therapies are possible: chemical action through botulinum toxin injections, motor physiotherapy and surgery to cut certain retracted tendons.Solann has already undergone several botulinum toxin injections. After the injections, it is necessary to put the pelvis and legs in full plaster to maintain the mechanical action of extending the muscles and tendons. This is very painful and distressing for Solann and those around him. The results have improved the condition of Solann's legs, but this type of treatment can only be a one-off and must be repeated every year to have a lasting effect. Motor kinesiology sessions are complicated to set up at home.
The Association has therefore decided to finance a device that enables Solann to exercise his legs as if on a bicycle, with the option of pedaling himself or letting the motor drive his legs.
November 6, 2011 in New York: To carry the colors of the Solann Dream Team Association, a team of motivated people set off across the Atlantic to run the New York Marathon for him... without him... with the following missions:
- Publicize the Association: a commitment to social and charitable causes.
- Carry and share this message, through the world's most legendary and high-profile race.
- Communicate: your commitment and support for this association in this event. It was a wonderful experience, both on a sporting and human level. The association is now known internationally.
