"It doesn't matter if you have a disability or not, this is a day for everyone."

That's the message from Manx Sport and Recreation as it looks to host its first Paralympics Day event on 28th of this month at the NSC.

Young people between the ages of eight and 18 are being encouraged to join in - regardless of whether or not they have additional needs.

The taster sessions are set to feature sports like badminton, boccia and kwik cricket.

Disability sports development officer Zoe Crowe says equality will always be the foremost theme of MSR events:
