Graffiti art gets gold seal of approval from Paralympian

We were thrilled to welcome Paralympic gold medallist and former RNC student Dan Pembroke to the College on 15 November. Dan popped in to see the graffiti art installation celebrating visually impaired sport, an idea sparked by RNC student Kai Codrington, who had always wanted to have a go at spray painting. The artwork showcases Dan's world record-breaking javelin throw.
Dan was incredibly impressed by the artwork and took the opportunity to meet with Kai. As a surprise, Dan gifted Kai a special ParalympicsGB leisure top worn around the Paralympic Village in Paris, which he later signed.

Kai was also able to take a closer look at Dan's Paralympic Games gold medal.

Dan is hoping to get more visually impaired people into athletics locally so we look forward to working with him again soon.

Thank you, Dan, for sharing your inspiring journey and making Kai's day unforgettable.

There's a short film here that documents Dan visit and meeting with Kai:
