Amputees seek balance for Christmas
Eight members from the William France Differently-abled Athletics Club (six of them amputees, and two confined to wheelchairs), with the assistance of four able-bodied persons, were busy yesterday in the vicinity of the Demerara Harbor Bridge, Schoon-Ord Public Road, soliciting from commuters to make their Christmas memorable.
Their efforts are also to prepare for participation in the differently abled marathon scheduled for Boston, USA, in April. William France, Dennis Burns and Anil Persaud are the expected competitors. Frances has 21 marathons under his belt.
The others have much less even when theirs are added together.
Monday will be the club’s Christmas party in Mocha but today they are scheduled for a Fitness and Health Walk in Essequibo, starting at 7:30am from Anna Regina and ending at Queenstown.
The club which started in 1988 has a membership of 27 persons.
It is made up of amputees, the visually impaired and wheel chaired who all have families to take care of.
