The Esplanade at Surfers Paradise is probably the most Wheelchair friendly Beachside Esplanade in the whole of Australia and in the Southern Hemisphere. International recognition of the Annual Wheelchair Challenge is likely to be acknowledged by the inclusion of this years 229 wheelchair participants in the Guinness Book of Records.
I am sure a major vote of thanks should be extended to everyone who partook in the tremendous effort that was necessary to organize and support this event. Congratulations are due to the 229 and in addition to those who gave up their time and so generously supported the Challenge.
