Road to Tokyo: With the tandem from Berlin to Tokyo

Inclusion rocks and rolls! This is the motto for the ambitious project of Sven Marx and Jürgen Pansin, who are riding on a special tandem from Berlin to Tokyo.

The journey over a total of 15,000 kilometres within six months has now begun – the starting signal was given in Berlin this Saturday.

Jürgen Pansin is 100 per cent visually impaired, Sven Marx has a tumour on his brain stem and thus has considerable problems with his balance, for example. Nevertheless, or perhaps precisely because of this, they want to prove that physical limitations do not rule out top performance.

The teams of Messe Düsseldorf and the online editorial team of REHACARE.com are keeping their fingers crossed that they will arrive in time for the Paralympic Games on August 25th in Tokyo to hand over the Inclusion Torch from the "Netzwerk Inklusion Deutschland" (English: Network inclusion Germany) there.

On their social media channels, the two will be reporting from on the road. And REHACARE.com will also follow them virtually and will report about them on the social networks from time to time.
