Plaque attached to the statue of Graham Condon in Papanui, Christchurch, New Zealand

Summary edit

Description
English: This is a bronze plaque attached to the statue of Graham Condon outside the Graham Condon Recreation and Sport Centre in Papanui, Christchurch, New Zealand. The statue and plaque is in bronze. This plaque reads:

"Representing New Zealand across three decades Graham Condon achieved extraordinary success as a Paralympian winning thirty-six medals in both discus and marathon. Graham, who contracted polio as a child, once wrote 'Sport was like a door opening for me.' He played a significant role in sport governance at both local and national levels. Between 1995 and 2007 he served as a city councillor, working among his other portfolios to ensure equality of access for all citizens. When not training, he spent much of his time mentoring fellow athletes and lending his hand to anyone who cared to reach for it.

While this monument commemorates an individual and his achievements against diversity it also serves to honour family in its many forms, and especially Graham's wife, Kathy, his constant and devoted support."
