Our 2015 events
November 2015: Funding for an adapted racing stroller
Thanks to generous 2015 donations, it was possible to order a new racing stroller adapted for disabled children. This stroller, manufactured and distributed in the USA, enables Solann Dream Team crew members to safely involve an additional child in sporting events.
October 04, 2015: The association runs with teammates from the Métro de Nantes company
Solann Dream Team teammates set themselves the challenge of taking part in the Foulées du Tram de Nantes in Breizh country. So it was with team-mates from Métro de Nantes that we accompanied Pierre and Solann along the 14.5 km of the magnificent course under a beautiful autumn sun. Many thanks to the METRO team members and runners, as well as to Pierre from the Courir Avec association(www.courir-avec-fr), who shared these beautiful moments of effort and solidarity.
September 27, 2015: Paris-Versailles.
Solann Dream Team members didn't miss out on the Paris-Versailles classic on September 27, 2015. The sun was out, and the good mood, motivation and mutual support were also shared over the 16.3 km of this mythical course.
Congratulations to Sandy, Stéphanie, Bertrand and Dominique, who gave us the joy of running under the association's colors for the first time.
Thanks to Solann and Laurette, the source of our motivation!
September 13, 2015: 10 km de la Saint Gilles de Bois d'Arcy.
The Dream Team is back in the field with the children after a long hiatus! It was in pouring rain that the association's team members, supported by 30 Spirit Group runners, accompanied four children during the 10 km Saint Gilles race. This race is organized every year by the Bois d'Arcy Running Marathon Club (RUMBA), which we would like to thank for hosting us.
The bad weather was more than made up for by the children's smiles and the runners' joy at sharing this warm moment.
A big thank you to the Spirit team members and runners who gave their time and energy to support the association and the children, the source of our motivation.
April 12, 2015: Paris Marathon.
Why not run a marathon with a Joelette? Maybe next year...
As little Solann was unavailable due to back surgery (see March 26 news), ten Solann Dream Team members took up the challenge of running the 42.195 km Paris Marathon without children, but as a team to support the association. The association's banner was carried all the way to the finish. It was a great team race, with ideal weather and a fierce desire to start the adventure all over again with a child in a Joelette.
October 18, 2015: Solann runs in Toulouse with Thales.
As part of the association's activities, a team of runners from Thalès Toulouse rallied around Solann to take part in the Stade Toulousain 10 km on October 18, 2015.
The weather was fine, and the experience was shared in a great team spirit, raising awareness of the association's cause among the runners, politicians and sportsmen and women present, and extending the Solann Dream Team's actions a little further south...
Many thanks to the organizers for accepting our participation, to Roland for mobilizing a team, and to the Thales team members for agreeing to accompany Solann, the source of our motivation.

September 27, 2015: The association is represented at the Chicago half-marathon.
Charlotte Desvignes, a loyal team member of the association, proudly wore the colors of the association on the course of the Chicago half-marathon, Sunday, September 27, 2015.
Bravo and thank you Charlotte for this promotion of the Solann Dream Team internationally!
September 13, 2015: The SPIRIT Group supports the association.
On the occasion of the Saint Gilles race on September 13, runners from the SPIRIT Group came to accompany the four children (Laurette, Juliette, Laurine and Solann) we took on the 10 km course, in the pouring rain.
At the end of the race, we shared a moment of conviviality around a buffet organized by Spirit, and received from the hands of its managers a donation enabling us to contribute to the association's actions.
The association received €10 for each kilometer run by Spirit runners, for a total of €3330 in donations.
These funds will be used in particular to invest in a new stroller adapted to the multihandicapped children we support.
On behalf of the children, their parents and all the members of the association, we warmly thank the SPIRIT Group and its runners for their support and their contribution to our action.
