Paralympics discrimnatory ticket allocation - protest!

Thanks to Joe Malone for bringing this to my attention. Please join the campaign.

Tell London 2012 to review their Paralympic ticketing policy and allow families to sit together Sign My Petition Joe - The London 2012 Olympic Games were brilliant. My family - particularly my two children - loved it. I decided I wanted to take them to the Paralympic Games to sample the once in a lifetime showcase of disabled sport in London.   I'm a wheelchair user, with a four-year-old autistic son and a nineteen-month-old daughter. Naturally we wanted to sit together and, particularly as it’s the Paralympics, I assumed there would be adequate provision to allow for this.    So I was stunned to hear that there was no way that this could happen as there is a policy that wheelchair users can only be accompanied by one other person, meaning that either my children or my husband have to sit far away from me.   I’ve started a petition on Change.org calling on London 2012 to review this policy. Please click here to join me.   I cannot believe that this event, designed to inspire a new generation of athletes, has a discriminatory ticketing policy. It's essential that my husband sits with me as he helps me with things I need to do and clearly my kids can't sit separately.    Aside from these practical considerations, I want to share this special occasion with my family, but I'm being prevented from doing so just because I am in a wheelchair.   Please join my campaign to get the organisers of the Paralympics to change this ticketing policy for these and future Games - so every family can share the Paralympics together.   Thank you,   Beth This email was sent by Change.org to Jmalone@Cwu.org   |   Start a petition Unsubscribe.
