We think that: The Department of Culture, Media and Sport must make funding available immediately
in order for athletes with learning difficulties to be fully trained to compete in London 2012 Paralympics.
Because: Paralympic dreams are being crushed due to a cut in funding. Mencap is actively seeking the removal of the ban on athletes with a learning disability from the Paralympics and we are optimistic the ban will be lifted for London 2012. However, we strongly urge sporting bodies to find a solution, because without immediate funding these talented athletes will not be physically ready to compete in London 2012. This would be a terrible disgrace.
