Product Description

Pele’s spirit of sport: "Sport is health and life itself. For we come together, share fellowship, and discover how alike we are."
Against a magnificently lowering sky, the herd of stampeding horses has been pulled together by the instinct of its leader, to take refuge against the coming storm. These qualities of strength and leadership within the unity of teamwork bring and extra dimension to the sports and life of humanity. Men and women are often seen at their best dealing with the extraordinary. At those moments, the spirit of pulling together that enlivens a living legend like Pele, and the challenges of being a Special Olympian, are revealed as a beacon of hope and unifying force for all the people.
