We did it! ‘Breathe’ was an incredible achievement and I want to express my gratitude to you all for making it happen. Our Breathe team are all exceptional at what they do and for each and every one of us it was a labour of love. We are all driven by a common cause - to ensure that disabled people are part of the Olympics and at the centre of society. And of course - to make a beautiful piece of art.
