I hope you have all managed to see a little of the Paralympics - even if you don't like sport. How can you not fail to be inspired by the dedication of the athletes? When I started watching yesterday I cried at every race. So amazing to see them being lowered into the water or helped up the slope to get onto their bikes, clinging by their teeth to a cloth before starting their swimming race because they have no arms to hold on with. I know just a tiny bit what it is like to wear a prosthesis, nothing like loosing an arm or a leg but still being aware that part of me is missing. It is wonderful to hear how sport has changed the lives of the athletes and helped them to dream big dreams. It is also wonderful to hear how young people with disabilities are being taken to the Paralympics and being inspired to dream dreams. Go team GB!
