Paralympics Australia Grateful To Gina Rinehart For Athlete Support
“In most cases, people with a disability face substantial financial burden to be able to participate in sport, including for specialised equipment and additional transportation costs. These expenses carry right through to the highest levels. “Therefore, the significance of Mrs Rinehart’s pledge to equally incentivise and reward all medal-winning athletes in swimming and rowing – regardless of whether they are able-bodied or have an impairment – cannot be overstated. “Mrs Rinehart is setting an exceptionally high standard for philanthropy that may inspire others to step up and support our remarkable Para-athletes as they strive to represent Australia to the best of their abilities on the world stage.”
