Write to a Paralympian: Share Your Encouragement and Curiosity!

Have you ever wanted to write a letter to a sporting hero? Now’s your chance! The Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, happening from August 28 to September 8, will be a wonderful showcase of athleticism, resilience, and determination. Athletes from around the globe will gather in Paris to compete in a variety of sports, demonstrating the incredible capabilities of individuals with disabilities, celebrating inclusivity and the power of sport to inspire and unite people.

Our Paralympians love hearing from their fans. Your words of encouragement inspire them to give their best performance, and they love to answer your questions about their sport, life as an athlete, and the Paralympics in general. It's a unique opportunity to connect with these athletes and let them know how much their dedication and achievements mean to you! You can read more about our amazing Australian athletes here.

To write a letter to a Paralympian, visit the Australian Paralympics website here, fill in the details, write your message, click submit, and your message will be delivered to your Paralympic Pen Pal! Please ask an adult to help you if you are unsure, and keep in mind, our Paralympians are still busy training, so while they receive every message sent, they may not be able to write a reply to all of them.

Let's show our support and appreciation for these remarkable athletes. Start writing your letter today and be part of their journey at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games!
