Athlete Comments & Reviews
“Find the sport your body can do”
“It’s just about finding something you can physically do for your age”
“Go and do it, choose to live!”
“I want to choose to live my life, you only get one chance so why ywaste it, why waste your life thinking I wish I’d done something. Do it, get up, get out of your chair, Go and do it!”
“Sport is fitness, health and community!”
Sport keeps us fit, it keeps people healthy and you can see from the smiles on the faces what it means to them to be still active and competing in events like this and meeting people throughout their whole lives.
