Project Report | Aug 7, 2025
Quentin's Incredible Journey

By Donal Cotter | Communications and Advocacy Manager

Though he was with us for just 30 days, Quentin made an incredible impression on the whole YSR team and he will leave a lasting imprint. Not only did he cycle all the way from Marseille to Lesvos, but then he chose to cycle another 1,000 kilometres just to raise money for our organisation! Lucky us!

Lesvos is a relatively small island, so reaching Quentin's ambitious goal meant 4 full cycles from Mytilini to Eresos and back again! I think it's safe to say that Quentin knows Lesvos better than anyone else who has only spent 30 days here! He also kindly helped us with many other YSR activities and took part in our annual Swim for Good event.

The funds that you so kindly contributed to Yoga and Sport with Refugees will be spent over the coming months to fund our Lesvos project. It will pay salaries for our coaches, who come from the displaced community living temporarily on Lesvos. It will pay for sports equipment, transporation and food/drink for sporting trips. Your donations will allow us to run competitions, events and other activities outside our normal sport program to further enrich the lives of our displaced community on Lesvos.

From each and everyone here at Yoga and Sport with Refugees on Lesvos: THANK YOU!!

Bien qu'il ne soit resté que 30 jours avec nous, Quentin a fait une impression incroyable sur toute l'équipe d'YSR et il laissera une empreinte durable. Non seulement il a pédalé de Marseille à Lesbos, mais il a choisi de parcourir 1 000 kilomètres supplémentaires pour récolter de l'argent pour notre organisation ! Nous avons de la chance !

Lesvos est une île relativement petite. Pour atteindre l'objectif ambitieux de Quentin, il a fallu faire 4 cycles complets, de Mytilini à Eresos et vice-versa ! Je pense que l'on peut dire que Quentin connaît Lesvos mieux que n'importe qui d'autre qui n'y a passé que 30 jours ! Il nous a également aidés dans de nombreuses autres activités de l'YSR et a participé à notre événement annuel « Swim for Good ».

Les fonds que vous avez si gentiment versés à Yoga and Sport with Refugees seront dépensés au cours des prochains mois pour financer notre projet à Lesbos. Ils serviront à payer les salaires de nos entraîneurs, qui viennent de la communauté déplacée vivant temporairement à Lesbos. Il servira à payer l'équipement sportif, le transport et la nourriture/boisson pour les sorties sportives. Vos dons nous permettront d'organiser des compétitions, des événements et d'autres activités en dehors de notre programme sportif normal afin d'enrichir la vie de notre communauté déplacée à Lesbos.

De la part de tous les membres de Yoga and Sport with Refugees: MERCI !
