“It’s about the look in people’s eyes that says ‘you’re a champion.'”

Paralympics Ireland have launched their latest fundraising campaign with a video that might bring a tear to your eye or a chill to your spine.

56 Irish athletes were named to the panel of prospective paralympians who will be hoping to be competing across 10 sports in Rio this summer.

The ‘More Than Sport’ campaign is trying to raise the money to support Irish athletes who have pushed themselves to every limit in order to challenge for the gold medal in Brazil.
