APC President Glenn Tasker calls for Rio funding support

Australian Paralympic Committee (APC) President Glenn Tasker is calling on the Australian public to continue their funding support for athletes in advance of the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

Tasker highlighted the need for consistent financial assistance from both the Australian public and corporate sponsors as the APC hopes to send one of its biggest teams ever to the Games in Brazil.

He explained “Rio looms before us and just as our planning takes a step up, so too must our fundraising in order to get the 2016 team to Brazil.

“We are working hard to secure more corporate sponsorship and we are grateful to the Australian public for your support of our Paralympians up until now.

“With Para-canoe and Para-triathlon both new to the program in Rio, we are hoping to send an even bigger team to Rio than our London 2012 team, and will need the Australian public’s help more than ever.”
