Support our Paris 2024 Paralympians

Almost half of elite athletes are earning incomes of less than $23,000 per year, effectively placing them below the national poverty line.

Many of our Paralympians competing at Paris 2024 will be self-funding their journey. With 58% of elite athletes with a disability reporting that their financial position had worsened from 2022-2023, many are having to take on multiple jobs or relying on support from family and friends.
