We were deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Ms. Charmaine Hooper, the CEO of World Abilitysport. Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of an extraordinary leader and advocate for sport for the physically disabled worldwide.
Ms. Hooper’s vision and dedication helped shape World Abilitysport into a dynamic and inclusive organization. Her leadership inspired many, including our federation, and her legacy will continue to influence the growth of para sport globally.
