<div>Pierre Botte is 25 and lives in Bidart. He was amputated following a road accident in 2021. A keen sportsman, he used to play rugby and pelota. He returned to rugby, but in a wheelchair. He now needs a new chair to practice in better conditions and achieve better performances. <br>Our mission today is to find funding from private donors or companies to finance this chair and enable him to continue his journey.<br><br>Your supporters are helping to buy this chair, thank you!!</div>
