   I’m in grade 7 at St Joseph’s Mundingburra Townsville.  Could you tell me if there are any paralympians from Townsville.  We are doing an study module on paralympians and I would like to focus on competitors from Townsville if there are any.

   Please reply and I will share this information with my class.

   I hope the media continues with the coverage as with the Olympics, The Paralympics seem to be the forgotten step-sister of the olympic family. I am aware that ABC2 are going to give it some coverage, so here’s hoping.

   To all the Aussie Paralympic Team - good luck and make us proud!!!

   As for Brian McVicar’s comment, it would be good to get the same level of media courage as the able olympics. Our paralymians work harder to achieve the same level, without the luxury of the sponorship funding which is attracted to our able athletes.

   Finally, a BIG good luck for Grace Bowman - you are not only representing SA in equestrian, you are providing the inspiration for all the Sth Aussie RDA riders, including my daughter.  GIDDY UP!
