2021 was another hard year, but every year presents challenges no more so than the last two as we continue to live through this pandemic. Things are more normal, but we know that variant most recently Omicron presents challenges. Hopefully this time next year we are in the ‘new normal’ without restrictions.

Being disabled makes me a member of a club of a billion people, we are different, and we are not the same, we may have the same condition but the way it affects us is very indvial.

We hear a lot about Parasport during the Paralympics, but apart from that where is the coverage and news about the success of our disabled athletes during the Paralympics or world championships.

Maybe one of the lessons we should all take from the last year that We […]
