Tribute to Charmaine Hooper
It is with great sadness that I read this news. I remember Charmaine as a constant presence in the Paralympic Movement since I first joined the British Paralympic Committee in 2005. Her passion for inclusion and equality was palpable, but above all she had a beautiful, bubbly soul and an endlessly positive approach. I last saw her at the recent EPC reception ahead on the General assembly in London where we re-connected after a long gap, and her energy and drive had not diminished. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. RIP dear Charmaine you will be much missed.
