Paralympic Champion's Foundation Has Now Helped 50,000 Young People with Disabilities

Dylan Alcott, the retired wheelchair tennis world champion, has announced his foundation has helped over 50,000 young Australians with disabilities since its founding. The Dylan Alcott Foundation focuses on providing sports opportunities and employment pathways.

"When I was young, I never saw people like me playing sports or having successful careers," said Alcott, who won seven Paralympic gold medals. "I wanted to change that for the next generation."

“The Dylan Alcott Foundation focuses on providing sports opportunities and employment pathways.”

The foundation's programs include adaptive sports equipment grants, mentorship programs, and partnerships with major Australian employers to create inclusive workplaces. The milestone was celebrated with participants sharing stories of transformed lives.
