Africa-Press – Ghana. Mr Samson Deen, the President of the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) – Ghana and Africa Paralympic Committee (APC), has endorsed the 2025 Absa Black Star marathon set for Saturday, July 26, at the Independence Square in Accra.

During the meeting, Mr Deen commended the marathon, saying, “Inclusion is not charity; it is justice. I will always stand where every voice is heard, and every dream has a chance to race. When every athlete, regardless of ability, is given a lane to run, the finish line becomes a victory for humanity.”
