Dubai Police Assist Family During Cycling Race

Why this is here: Team AngelWolf has been welcomed into schools, universities, and sporting events across the UAE since its founding in 2014, promoting an inclusive, active lifestyle for people of determination.

Captain Nasser Yousuf of the Dubai Police aided Nick Watson and his son Rio, a person of determination, after they became stranded during the Proud of UAE community cycling race in Dubai. Watson and Rio were participating in the 60km race with an adaptive bike that could not be transported by standard support vehicles after missing a course cut-off.

The pair found themselves on a busy road, and Watson feared for their safety. Captain Yousuf arrived and coordinated special transport for their bike, providing them with a safe place to wait in his air-conditioned vehicle and ultimately driving them home.

Watson, founder of the Dubai-based inclusive foundation Team AngelWolf, expressed profound gratitude for the police captain’s humanity and the sense of security he feels in the UAE after 28 years. Team AngelWolf promotes inclusive, active lifestyles for people of determination and continues to expand accessibility initiatives like their Impact Mobility Chair project. The work to build inclusive communities across the UAE continues.
