It's the first time they've been called up to represent Portugal!

In October, Mariana and Duarte are going to the European Cup in Zurich in the Artistic Pairs speciality in the Children's category. Our Duarte will also be representing Portugal in the Free Skating speciality.

At just 11 years old, the two of them train many hours a day with the responsibility and commitment of an adult. With the joy of someone who just wants to have skates on their feet, they do what they love and need your help to make a dream come true. Even at such a young age, they realise what it means to carry our flag on their chest.

From us, the parents, they will always have unconditional support as long as they are happy skating, we will do everything possible to encourage them, but that alone is not enough.

We would like to thank you in advance for all the financial support and all the kind words our boys have received!
