Our supporters are racing, bench-pressing and bicep-curling tochallenge the discrimination and ignorance which denies millions of peoplewith disabilities the basic opportunities to take control of their own lives;to learn, to get a job ,to play a role in family life or to play sport.

20% of the world’s poorest people have a disability (WorldBank). 90% of children with disabilities don’t attend school (UNESCO).

We can continue to change that story. We work with local organisations to meet their local priorities, from helping artisans andproducers to build businesses to supporting the development of the ParalympicFederation of Burkina Faso.

Confirmed activities include:

Paralympic event and raffle at Pure Gym Clifton Moor, York

A 17-strong team in the York 10k

A team in the York 10 mile
