Thanks, Iceflower!

About the ViVil (WeWant) Games, which is one of her eight patronages: Is the country's largest multi-sports event for people with Intellectual disabilities, which takes place every year at Nadderud stadium in Bærum (a neighbouring municipality of Oslo), where they compete in football (soccer), handball, boccia, swimming and athletics. The games were started in 1979 (yes, as mentioned in the above post, they celebrates their 40th anniversary this year) by Vivil IL (Norway's largest sports team within this field, founded in 1978) and last for three days with participants from all over the country. Another thing to mention is that no winners are named during the individual competitions, where everyone receives equal prizes/diplomas. However, that is not the case in the team sports, where the winning team is awarded with a cup.

And to those who wonder how it's funded?
The team: Through support from the state, sponsors, an annual membership-fee and volunteerism.
The games: Through its own support from the state, sponsors, start-fees and volunteerism. (Yes, separated from that given to the team.)

Press release from Foreningen for Muskelsyke
The association for Foreningen for Muskelsyke (Muscular Dystrophy Association) breaks off its collaboration with Märtha Louise.
"The princess has always taken her responsibility as patron seriously and shown genuine interest in what we are working on, but more and more members are reacting to Durek Verrett's speculative outbursts about his own form of alternative medicine and abilities as a shaman. For FFM as a representative of a number of very rare neuromuscular diseases with little or no offer of medical treatment, this seems provocative."
The recent media coverage of Märtha Louise and Durek has caused much discussion and unrest in the association, many of its members are now questioning being a member of an organization that has a royal patron who supports various forms of alternative medicine. Certain members have already renounced their membership because of this matter.
The central board of FFM has therefore taken the difficult decision to end the collaboration with Märtha Louise.

Quite right to remove her as patron because of this.
