The Blueprint IT, a leading provider of secure and reliable data centre, co-location services, connectivity and hardware solutions to some of the worlds largest online companies. Sales Director Syrus Mokhtari are proud to announce their sponsorship of Mari Durward Akhurst, a remarkable Paralympian Para Equestrian athlete who recently earned a Bronze Medal in the 2024 Para Equestrian Individual Freestyle Event at the Paris Paralympics.
Mari Durward Akhurst, who lives with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and a rare neurological condition causing symptoms such as ataxia and dystonia, has overcome significant physical challenges to become a world-class athlete. Her condition affects all four limbs, leaving her with weaker muscle tone, and has greatly impacted her coordination, balance, and strength. As a full-time wheelchair user, Mari has learned to adapt and excel in the sport of para equestrian, using loop reins and two whips that act as her legs, riding without stirrups.
“Mari’s dedication and resilience are an inspiration to us all,” said Syrus. “Her ability to overcome obstacles and achieve such success on the world stage speaks volumes about her character, and we are honored to support in her journey as a Paralympian, which includes the next four years and the build up to Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028.
The Blueprint IT’s partnership with Mari reflects their commitment to supporting athletes with disabilities, enabling them to achieve greatness through perseverance and hard work. This sponsorship will help Mari continue to compete at the highest levels and inspire others to push past their own challenges, both in sport and in life.
“Mari is a true testament to the power of the human spirit,” said a spokesperson for The Blueprint IT. “We believe that with the right support and resources, people with disabilities can achieve anything they set their minds to, and Mari is leading the way as a shining example.”
Mari Durward Akhurst’s recent achievements have brought much-needed awareness to the world of para equestrian and the struggles faced by athletes living with disabilities. As she prepares for future competitions, The Blueprint IT and Syrus Mokhtari are proud to stand beside her as she continues to break barriers and redefine what is possible for athletes with disabilities.
