Good day Sir Philip
I have only just stumbled across your site and it suddenly occurred to me "I know that name!" I was of course a fellow pupil at school at the same time as you - you may or not remember me. However I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your countless outstanding achievement.
With best wishes

Dear Sir Philip,
I can see the spirit and passion of IPC. When all the effort comes together, I do believe what burns is the hope for tomorrow.
Many thanks for the blog. Your hand-shaking is so encouraging after I beated BBC sports journalist at China Vista Reith Lecture (at the Lords). I would like to do more things to help disability development.
I am working on a mapping exercise on china NGO development including disability front, and how NGOs in the west can best use their resources and knowledge to nurture their counterparts in China. Hope I will have a chance to grasp your wisedom again.
I meant to be in China right now. Unfortunately, I just came out from St.Mary's Hospital. I hope I will make a trip in two weeks' time. Would you mind me contacting you again for an interview? Shall I contact you again with my questions?
Enjoy your stay in China. Wendy
thanks, Mr. Craven, we chinese people will never forget your charming smile!!!
Dear Sir Philip Craven,
AbiliTV is the name of my dream that is as you read this being made a reality.
As the name seems to suggest... It's all about the Ability in all people.
I'm on YouTube and becoming good friends with the staff of ParalympicSportTV.
My next video will being directed to you Sir Philip Craven, President of the IPC.
It's nothing bad or anything like that. All I can say is I think you will approve. :)
I just love the fact I can watch these games online... THANK YOU for making that possible. Also thanks to all the people working for or with you.

Estimado Sir Philip Craven:
Soy un periodista especializado en deportes. Es la primera vez que tengo que hacer una cobertura informativa del deporte paraolÃmpico. Como usted podrá ver en mi blog, estoy haciendo una pequeña semblanza de las personas que hacen posible este maravilloso evento de los JJ.PP., y he pensado en usted.
Me gustarÃa si es posible, incluir su semblanza en mi blog. sólo pido su perimiso, y si es posible, que me exprese en una lineas como ve usted el paraolimpismo hoy respecto a ayer.
Thank you very much Sir, and enterelly at your disposall,
Rafael Rosa Castejón. Spain, Seville.
P.D.: Si tuviera problemas con el idioma español, le puedo enviar este mismo mensaje en inglés.
I just want you all to know, those who have moved forward and not let their "disabilities" get in their way.
What an honor and priviledge to be there and compete, knowing no matter who is claimed "winner", everyone goes home a winner. I have been a below amputee since 2000 and wear a prosthetic leg. Though I can never compete in sports, everyday of my life from 2000 till the day God takes me from this earth, I will let people know, we do not know what is to happen, but with Gods strength, courage and doing the best possible, we each can show the world, that "disAbled', is not something that will hold you back, but only increase who you are and show that there is just different ways to approach life and all there is for each of us. My hearts prayers will be with each of you, my fellow brothers and sisters, and to those who are there to cheer them on, cheer even louder, because I will be cheering as well.
good evening sir philip
i have taken a interest in the paralympic games, probably for selfish reasons as my cousin helene raynsford is in the single arms race, i have enjoyed all the games,but now knowing someone makes you take notice and realise what a great comitement people make.
Bonjour Sir Phil,
Looking forward to watching a lot of Paralympic sport through Paralympic Sport TV. There is a lot of interest here in New Zealand especially with school children. Have a great time! Keep up the good work.
Kind Regards
