QASA made it possible for 96 of its members to participate in the Outeniqua Wheelchair Challenge (OCC) race, held in George on February 18. The event, which is growing in popularity, brought together a wide array of people to participate and enjoy a positive and fun atmosphere.
The participants said that they were treated well and were accommodated by the event organisers in an admirable and efficient fashion.
Members who participated in the OCC race thanked QASA for the opportunity to attend the event, which showed them that disability does not mean the end of one’s life. QASA is happy to have been involved.
