Prince Harry and The Earl of Wessex, who's Royal Patron of the British Paralympic Association, have announced their support for National Paralympic Day, August 30.

Prince Harry commented 'Through my work with Invictus Games and in seeing ParalympicsGB in action at London 2012, I have seen first-hand how disability sport has the power to change and influence people's lives for the better. These men and women are not defined by their disabilities, but by their incredible sporting achievements. National Paralympic Day is another opportunity for the public to acknowledge this and hopefully be inspired by it'.
