    Paralympics Glory
    Sep 8 2024
    Paris has put on an incredible summer of sport by hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games. With the Paralympics being just a short train ride away, we knew we had to be there. So, the Taking The Dis! team boarded the Eurostar and headed to France. We had the absolute joy of spending the day at Roland Garros, seeing British wheelchair tennis players Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid in action and trying to cheer them to Paralympic glory. Did it work? Spoiler alert - yes it did! Join us on our journey to Paris for the most memorable of days.
