The Antwerp Fire Department is taking on the Push Buddy challenge: the AG Antwerp 10 Miles.
Out of stock
The Antwerp Fire Department is once again taking on the inclusive Push Buddy challenge: running the AG Antwerp 10 Miles with geniuses in wheelchairs! They alternate to get all the kids across the finish line. Triple Challenge stands by them with advice and assistance 🔥!
The story of this challenge begins with Sam De Pagie, firefighter and dad of 3 beautiful daughters! His oldest daughter, Nette, has a disability that means she will never be able to run the Ten Miles of Antwerp herself. But Sam desperately wants her to experience the sporting event.
“Nette is at a mental age of three. We can’t really prepare them for the event. It’s still a gamble how she will react. My wife is also running. She has run the 10 Miles more times than I have. If the crowds would still be too much for Nette, my wife can step in and I’ll continue running with the firemen.”
And Sam is not alone, his colleague Tom Timmermans is also running with his niece Sarah. They have been participating in the 10 Miles for several years. But this year they are going a step further and are setting up this challenge together: to push at least 10 children and young people ahead of the fellow firefighters and support our project. #triplechallengeheroes
