On behalf of The South African Sports Association for the Physically Disabled, it is indeed an honour to extend a warm welcome to all participants, and especially our international guests, to the eighth Outeniqua Wheelchair Challenge.

Everything is now focused on qualifying for the 2012 London Paralympics. The Outeniqua Wheelchair Challenge certainly is an important event, as it is the biggest event of this nature and compulsory for athletes who want to be considered for selection (for national teams).  This event provides a platform for future international participation – it gives younger athletes an opportunity to see their role models in action and also compare their results with the champions.  Another big attraction is the fun run which usually has the most participants, and which help us to raise awareness and also encourage a more active nation.

I sincerely hope that all competitors, support staff and volunteers enjoy the competition as well as the attractions offered by this beautiful town. May each one of you experience the hospitality of our host, George Municipality and return home with many wonderful memories!

A special thank you to our sponsors and friends who have been loyal and dedicated and who makes it possible for us to present an event of exceptional quality!

We wish to thank Esther Watson and her dedicated team who are once again committed to host this prestigious event! To every individual who has served on the organizing committee, SWD Sports Association for the Physically Disabled, volunteers and officials, I wish to thank you for your dedication and hard work!
