Two-time Paralympic champion Richard Whitehead believes disability is “lagging behind” other minority groups and needs more than just fleeting moments in the spotlight.
With 99 days until the start of the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris, the British runner called for greater disabled representation within the boardrooms of national governing bodies and the media.
Whitehead would also like Para athletes to receive more support with mental health and for there to be increased appreciation of the day-to-day challenges of living with a disability.
