Ben Rushgrove - Paralympian Becomes Patron of BISPAA

Ben Rushgrove

Ben Rushgrove, Silver Paralympian at the Beijing Paralympics, has become Patron of BISPAA.

"As a young boy I was introduced to athletics by my PE teacher, after she watched me run around the school, without her dedication and belief in my abilities to succeed  I would not have pursued sport any further.  As a disabled person I believe that everyone has the right to participate in sport and phyiscal activity at all levels, regardless of their ability.  I am delighted to become Patron of BISPAA and hope that within my role I maybe able to inspire more disabled people, young or old, to be more active!"
