Helping people with neuromuscular diseases to live out their rights in an active way: This is the goal we, as UILDM department, have set for ourselves, since our Constitution, March 2021.

Precisely in this sense, bringing to Musumeli an innovative and unknown sport such as wheelchair hockey allows us to raise awareness in the community on this topic and create channels through which people suffering from neuromuscular diseases and, in general, people with disabilities in the region feel free to participate in similar experiences. We are grateful to the teams who accepted our invitation and who will come to visit us.
