Meet the Tigers Wheelchair Rugby team this Friday at Leicester's de Montfort University during the International Day of Disabled People.
Around 15 per cent of the world’s population live with some form of disability and the day aims to highlight the gains that can be made from integrating people with disabilities into every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.
