“On May 9, 2009, JustWorld lost one of its most dignified ambassadors. Jean Claude Van Geenberghe was a loyal supporter who proudly wore the JustWorld colors every chance he had, representing the organization with his elegance.
He inspired many other equestrians to follow his lead by example. Although his time with us was cut short, he left a legacy by demonstrating how a dedicated, world-class equestrian could raise awareness and support a cause he believed in, simply by doing what he did every day.
At the 2008 Olympic Games, before the individual final, he told me that he was motivated to do well not only for personal achievement as a world class athlete, but also to make JustWorld proud, which he did.
We will miss Jean Claude tremendously, but he will always remain in our thoughts and in our hearts, having done his part to give back to humanity.”
