NRDC-ITA NO Limits Day

A no-barriers event at the NATO HQ in Milan. NRDC-ITA organized the first edition of NO LIMITS DAY at Ugo Mara Barracks.
NRDC-ITA NO LIMITS represents a significant opportunity to highlight the importance of inclusiveness and the potential of the sporting practice as a valuable tool for more rapid and effective integration into society.
The event, organized with the Italian Paralympic Committee of Lombardy, Special Olympics Lombardy of the Province of Varese, and the Municipality of Solbiate Olona was aimed at raising awareness of disability issues while at the same time exposing these athletes to a military environment.
Some athletes of the Defense Paralympic Sports Group (GSPD), the local student community, and various Associations joined the initiative which was opened by the Commander of NRDC- ITA, Lieutenant General Lorenzo D'Addario.
The Commander welcomed all participants by elaborating on how participating in sports activities are a useful tool to increase self-confidence beyond the limitations arising from a disability. On this specific topic, the Italian Army has always granted its support to personnel who suffered permanent injuries or illnesses while conducting operations.
Specifically, during No Limits Day, there was a circuit with numerous sports activities including basketball, baseball, table soccer, table tennis, hand biking, running, karate, and skating which allowed the disabled athletes to practice each sport.
The event enhanced the importance of inclusiveness because being part of a team promotes a sense of belonging, peer support, and knowing you’re not alone in your struggle. As a military, we are aware that competition rekindles the sense of passion and determination in a person's spirit, fostering the courage to move forward despite barriers and obstacles.
Since 2001, events of a charitable nature and donations have been organized and conducted by NRDC-ITA, supporting various associations operating in the area.
NRDC-ITAs actions are a further confirmation that the NATO Command is always ready to intervene, not only in crisis areas but also to support local communities.
