It started at 8 a.m. on the elliptical machine, at 9 a.m. Joey switched to a tandem, his son Luke was the co-driver. The two Kellys received tips from Christina Vogel. The most successful track cyclist of all time (including 2x Olympic gold) has been bound to a wheelchair since a training accident in 2018. She joined in and gave Joey tips on how to drive in a circle. She also spoke to Joey about crises, fighting, and getting up again.
It continued at 10 a.m. with a brisk samba dance. Here, too, Joey was supported by his son Luke, dancing to the summer hit of the 1997 “Samba de Janeiro” by Bellini. What many do not know: Joey’s wife Tanja was a member of the Bellini group and a star like Joey. Joey also received support from Motsi Mabuse. She gave valuable tips on the movements. Good for Joey, because dancing is definitely not one of his favorite disciplines. Afterwards there was even a serenade with sister Patricia Kelly.
At 2 p.m., Joey and his son Leon had a table tennis match – under the expert guidance of Timo Boll, Germany’s most successful table tennis player. Timo has been number 1 in the world rankings several times and did not leave Joey’s technical errors uncommented: “I find the grip position a bit strange!” But with a frying pan instead of the normal bat, it worked surprisingly well for Joey.
At 4:00 p.m. the goal was then: And against none other than ex-international Fredi Bobic. “We’re trying to punch in – I’m sure that Joey has learned something there in such a short time!” laughed the soccer professional, now board member for sports at Eintracht Frankfurt. Fredi had a little more space in front of his own goal wall: he was added live from the empty Commerzbank Arena. “We are used to playing in the full house, feeling the emotions. But it is just like that – there are other, crazy times!”, He said about Corona ghost games. In the end, Joey actually won the challenge – but he also had support from son Luke …

“Together against Corona – together for children”: 657,000 euros for needy children in Germany
The donations are used to support the countless children in Germany who are currently unable to go to school or to care facilities such as the RTL children’s homes. Especially in social hotspots, meaningful employment at home is not possible for many. Together with the long-term cooperation partners Caritas and “Die Arche” helps “RTL – We help children” affected children, among other things by distributing exercise books, creative games and learning materials. The issue is made through the nationwide RTL children’s homes, which have a strong network and direct contacts to the needy families.
Even seriously disabled and life-shortened children who are cared for in the mobile care service now need more support. So that the mobile care service can be maintained and the children do not have to be transferred to hospitals, massively increased hygiene requirements must be met. In order to break up the isolation of families with these children, our cooperation partner Nestwärme e.V. also builds up nationwide digital advice and support for those affected.
