The Mexicans Paralympians support the victims of the earthquake of the country!

Several Mexican Para athletes and Mexican Paralympic Committee (CPM) staff have helped collect supplies for the victims of the earthquake that hit the state of Morelos on 19 September.

Double swimming Paralympic champion Nely Miranda was among the Para athletes who have been assisting the victims. “The Paralympic family’s act of solidarity is very important because it shows our unity, strength and humility in the face of adversity,” she said. “I feel so proud of being Mexican. I am sure we will always stand back on our feet.” The IPC launched the #FuerzaMexico global fundraising campaign to support UNICEF’s humanitarian efforts in Mexico following last week’s devastating earthquake.
