The issue

The true heroes of our sport of Track and Field. Our Para Athletes not only struggle to STEP up onto the podium to receive their medals, our wheelchair athletes sit in front. Majority of our Para Athletes struggle to get onto the podium or are unable to.

Why it is important?

Equal access is a human right

Inclusion strengthens communities

Representation matters - everyone deserves to be in the spotlight

The ramp will give ALL athletes the ability to be on top of the podium that they richly deserve and to feel included. The ability to be on the podium without fear of injury or feeling left out. This will ensure that everyone has the same opportunities.

We need to act now and ensure that all athletes are treated equally and they all have the same opportunities to be on top of the podium to be recognised equally.
