About Campaign
ends 31 Mar 2016, 11:59 PMToh Sze Ning is a Boccia player who was born with Cerebral Palsy, a condition where nerves are not connected properly to other parts of the body. It has affected her ability to sit and lift things. Despite this, Sze Ning plays her sport with an aid of a pointer that is attached to a helmet. The slight tilt of the head propels the ball and sets the game in motion. Her helmet has seen her win a gold medal for notable competitions like the 2014 Boccia World Open in Montreal, Canada, and the 7th ASEAN Para Games in Myanmar. Your help can enable athletes like Sze Ning to be better equipped for their sport.
