Who is Lizzie?
Lizzie the Lizard is the official mascot of the Australian Paralympic Committee and Australia’s Paralympic Teams.
Lizzie loves Paralympic sport and wants all those around her to feel the same frill-tingling excitement she gets when watching Australia’s Paralympic athletes compete against the best in the world.
Inspired by our Paralympians to follow her dreams, Lizzie travels around Australia’s big cities and country towns, sharing the Paralympic spirit with all Australians.
When she’s not travelling and trying new things, Lizzie still enjoys the luxuries of a lizard life, catching rays of sunshine or climbing trees whenever she gets the chance.
But with her warm, friendly, larrikin nature, she doesn’t have much time for swanning around in the sun. Instead her contagious excitement for Paralympic sport spreads like wildfire to all who meet her.
