As part of our ongoing commitment to disabled athletes throughout the world, it was a pleasure to provide our own Bejing Gold Medalist Sophie Pascoe a new Melrose Titanium wheelchair.

After Sophie got a handful of the shiny medals she returned home to Christchurch and has been training hard for her next round of events. These start off this year with the British Champs in Sheffield, then the World Champs (including altitude training) in Holland leading up to the Paralympics in London in 2012.

The wheelchair helps Sophie get around at events where the continued attaching and removing of her prostetic leg can irritate her stump. It will also provide a less tiresome way to get about at event venues and airports where walking distances can be quite large.

Sophie is shown in front with the Melrose administration staff behind (left to right) Phillipa, Claire, Laraine and Brenda.
