"This team are being recognised for their tireless work in promoting and supporting Paralympic Sport. In particular, their hard work over the past few years in making the BT Paralympic World Cup in Manchester one of the world's best loved sporting events. They are a small team who have relentlessly campaigned to raise awareness of Paralympic Sport and have been part of the team responsible for the huge surge in popularity in recent years. The BT Paralympic World Cup has grown into an annual event taking place in Manchester which bridges the gap between Paralympics. The team are now continuing their work into the London Paralympics and are very happy to be rewarded by being a part of the Paralympic Torch Relay.
