What the petition asks
The Rio Olympics have been fantastic for Team GB and our Olympic Athletes have done us proud. Now our Paralympians, and those across the world, should be allowed the same opportunities and facilities. Brazil has run out of funds and our Goverment, along with others from the first world, can help.
