Regan looks for backing in Beijing Paralympics bid

Wheelchair-tennis player Shaun Reganis to represent Great Britain in Sweden for the World Team Cup, equivalent to the Davis Cup.

Paralympic athletes have not only physical challenges to over come but. financial challenges as well. I hope so some good companies out there would sponsor Paralympic athletes so they be an inspiration to all of us.
