It was a special moment for a family residing in Dubai taking part in the Dubai Run 2021.
Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, was leading the run when he came in contact with Rio and Tia from the Team Angel Wolf family.
The family in Dubai creates awareness of the importance of inclusion and to change attitudes to help integrate people of determination fully into society.
It is during the run, Sheikh Hamdan greeted the two children and decided to run while pushing Rio in his running chair for some of the distance.
The video shared by Team Angel Wolf showed the heart melting moment.
Team Angel Wolf wrote on Instagram, “INCLUSIVE IMPACTIVITY as shown and led by our leader HH Sheikh Hamdan!
“The highlight of our morning during the 10kms run at the Dubai Run event for @dubaifitnesschallenge …
“His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai (@faz3 ) led the way and openly participated in the 10kms of Dubai Run amongst his community.
Another special moment that our children Rio and Tia (@littlewolf1311 ) will always remember, be honoured and grateful for, was when His Highness greeted them again and ran pushing Rio in his running chair for some of the distance - thank you so much … it was a beautiful example of Inclusive Imapctivity!
