HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Rio From Team Angel Wolf Turns 15 Today And He Has Already Accomplished SO Much

Avatar

Nobody motivates and inspires us quite like Team Angel Wolf— the Dubai based family made up of Dad Nick Watson, mom Delphine, son Rio and daughter Tia—that aims to encourage inclusion of people with disabilities and promote healthy living. 

Their son, Rio, has a rare chromosome disorder called Q44 Deletion De Novo, which causes many health issues such as seizures, learning disabilities, motor skills disabilities, among others, but that has never stopped him from missing a race or living his life with gusto. 

Today marks another step in Team Angel Wolf’s inspiring journey. 

Little Rio turns 15 today

And his fam has shared the most precious birthday message for the boy! 

“HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY to our beautiful, amazing angel, Rio!

Thank YOU for being YOU; we are so proud of you.

Thank YOU for ALL that you continuously teach us and guide us in life; you inspire us daily.

Thank YOU for choosing US to be YOUR family …. we are incredibly lucky and very grateful.

WE LOVE YOU … always xxx”

The Watsons have already completed 51 races so far…. #familygoals right here

Rio might have turned 15 but has already accomplished so MUCH more than we ever could…

Marthons, triatholons, races, cycling, swiming, running—they’ve done it all! 

#TeamAngelWolf has a great weekend ahead!
Rio’s Birthday on Friday, then Saturday we will be at @cignatogether Park Run by @racemeevents at Zabeel Park.
Nick/Rio, Little Wolf and Delphine have entered the 5km … we also have our friends from @omnicommediagroupjoining us, running pushing 2 of our #TAWdisability chairs that they kindly sponsored, so that 2 more children of determination can be included and enjoy the race!
This will be event number 52 of the season and our 133rd event as #TeamAngelWolf!
We are looking forward to this one!”

Lovin Dubai wishes Rio a very happy birthday. Shine on, friend!
