The ultimate dream

Taking part in the Paralympics together in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and winning a medal there, this is the ultimate dream for Larissa Klaassen (left) en Haliegh Dolman (right).

Stichting VIPSport is helping them to achieve their dream! Larissa Klaassen and Haliegh Dolman do para-cycling: cycling for people with a disability.
