Following the remarkable success of our Racing for Change project in Rwanda – where the NSN Cycling Team built the Field of Dreams Bike Center, transforming the lives of thousands of children by giving them the opportunity to ride, learn and race – we are proud to announce that the next chapter is beginning in Brazil.
Together with our partners Brainvest and Innova AATB, NSN Cycling Team is launching Racing for Change Brazil – a new initiative designed to help young Brazilian cycling talents discover the sport, develop their skills, and, for some, turn their dream of becoming professional riders into reality.
NSN Cycling Team General Manager Kjell Carlström expressed his confidence that the new Racing for Change project in Brazil will benefit a young generation aspiring to excel in the sport of cycling.
“Our team has always strongly believed that we should use our resources, expertise and inspiration beyond the goal of winning races,” says Carlström. “Our Field of Dreams project in Rwanda has already changed lives, created opportunities, and proved the power of cycling to inspire young people. I am so proud and excited that, together with our partners, we will be bringing that same vision and ambition to Brazil.”
Brainvest Wealth Management founder Dany Roizman, who is the leading force of the RFC Brazil project, adds: “Brazil has always had extraordinary raw talent in sport. What has often been missing is a clear pathway. With Racing for Change Brazil, we are committed to helping build that bridge – from potential to performance, and from dreams to professional reality.”
NSN Cycling Team riders are already excited about what’s to come, including Spaniard Pau Martí, who had the chance to witness firsthand the success of Racing for Change in Rwanda.
“I was fortunate to recently visit the bike center our team built in Rwanda, and I was amazed by the impact it has had on the young people there and on the wider community,” explains Martí.
“I am very excited that we now have the chance to offer young people in Brazil the same opportunity to ride bikes and receive professional support. I have no doubt that in the near future we will see some of those talented young Brazilian riders become professionals. That’s what Racing for Change is all about!”
