Ahead of the 2020 Paralympic Games, the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) has launched a “Walk In My Shoe” initiative aimed at challenging healthy athletes to compete for athletes in various sports disciplines.
The initiative seeks to raise awareness and make the general public appreciate the strength and prowess of para athletes.
NPC Ghana will use this initiative to promote the UKAID funded project Para Sports Against Stigma (PSAS) and use it as a digital campaign in the run-up to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
Over the weekend, NPC-GHANA President Samson Deen accepted the challenge and competed in the Para-Athletics 400 Meter Wheelchair Race against para-sports stars Patrick Obeng, Felix Acheampong and Emmanuel Yaw Boateng.
Mr Deen has appointed the Minister of Youth and Sports Hon. Mustapha Ussif, the British High Commissioner to Ghana and the Japanese Ambassador to Ghana for a Goalball match against visually impaired athletes.
