Tribute to Charmaine Hooper
It was with profound sadness that we received the news of the sudden passing of Charmaine Hooper. On behalf of the Czech Sports Association of Physically Handicapped, I would like to extend our deepest condolences to Charmaine’s family, friends, and all her colleagues at World Abilitysport.
Charmaine was a remarkable leader and a dedicated advocate for Para sports. Her passion, commitment, and tireless work for the community have left an indelible mark on the world of disability sport.
