"National Paralympic Day is a great event because it gives people the opportunity to meet their role models and heroes"
- Amy Marren
“I think National Paralympic Day is a great event because not only does it raise the profile of the Paralympics, which has come a long, long way since London 2012, but it also gives people an opportunity to meet their role models and heroes,” said four-time IPC World Championship medallist Amy Marren.
“It’s probably one of my favourite events of the year. You can meet the athletes, take part in the give-it-a-go sessions and it’s just a great day to get an understanding of what Paralympic sport is and what we try to promote, which is that there is no boundaries for disability athletes; you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
“I’d say it’s a massive honour to be involved in National Paralympic Day. Never in a million years would I have ever dreamed that I would be a Paralympian, so to be involved is something that I’m absolutely over the moon about.”
