Hello! I know this is a strange request! But it is my friends birthday next week- she is a big fan of you and really looks up to you. She also has cerebral palsy and it’s actually her ultimate dream to compete in the Paralympic’s. I was wondering you would be able to send me a video of you saying “happy birthday” that I could give her. It would mean so much! ❤️
Thank you for having us! Great to meet the @INSEP_PARIS Team and Jean from @FRAparalympique today and tour this impressive campus ahead of @Paris2024#ParaSport
