We dreamed of going and a friend said they wanted to give us a treat in the form of 2 tickets for the 7th Sept between 10-12.40 in the Olympic stadium.
Being a bit of a invalid with my Achilles injury I'm barely mobile. It's seemed so lame to be speaking of my limited abilities amongst the largest global gathering of abilities amongst the disabled community.
We got escorted fairly much to the door.
The atmosphere was amazing and to top it off we saw Josue Cajuste who happened to have Joshie on his shoulders only 5 days earlier throwing in the javelin.
The morning was awesome.
Watching blind people sprint down a track and leap with only voices telling where the line was and propelled into the air using their remaining senses to land safely. We saw races in wheelchairs. We saw the pinnacle of people who defied the naysayers to triumph heroically to display what they are able to do.
Great to see the super humans.
