RICHARD HURRELL Public celebration for Waikato’s paralympic heroes

In a first of its kind, Waikato Paralympians were celebrated with a public event presented by Parafed Waikato at Sport Waikato in Hamil- ton. Paralympians Sue Reid, Nikita Howarth, Peter Martin, Rachel Stock, and Danny McBride shared stories on their events, training and what life was like in the Paralympic village. In front of a crowd which included Waipa Mayor Alan Livingstone and Hamilton East MP David Bennett, the athletes were presented with gifts from Parafed. SportsForce Parafed development officer Chloe Wickman said it was a chance to be inspired by people who had pushed through barriers to com- pete at the highest levels. ‘‘Hearing about their biggest inspirations, their race technical diffi- culties and the atmosphere of the games themselves, it really painted a picture for those attending,’’ she said.
