The founder, Sir Ludwig Guttmann, was a neurologist who fled Nazi Germany and believed that being involved in sports was a great way to rehabilitate. What began as a form of therapy became what is now known as the Paralympics. In 2020, the summer Paralympics had over 4500 athletes participate from 163 countries. The Paralympics presents us with the world's best differently-abled athletes and opportunities to question how people with disabilities are treated back home; athletics has a way of bringing issues of justice, equity, and inclusion to the forefront. Whether you’re a casual observer, a diehard sports enthusiast, or a Paralympian, none of us are just bystanders. On September 12, 2024, More Than Walking members were invited to participate in a roundtable discussion hosted by C4 quadriplegic and Hip Hop musician Corey “Pheez” Lee, and C7 quadriplegic and More Than Walking CEO Jonathan Sigworth. Participate in future podcast discussions by signing up for our newsletter or Zoom events at https://www.morethanwalking.com/register.html. Listen as a podcast at https://anchor.fm/morethanwalking.
