Cable, the first woman to win medals in both the Summer and Winter Paralympics, met with UN ambassador for peace and legendary musician Stevie Wonder at the organisation’s headquarters in New York City. 

The American, whose total of 12 Paralympic medals includes eight golds, took the opportunity to highlight the benefits Los Angeles 2024 claim will bring to the city if they are successful with their bid.

She believes a Paralympic Games in Los Angeles would be a "tremendous opportunity to reimagine the future of inclusion in both the US and around the world".

"It’s a great honour to be here at UN headquarters in observance and celebration of this important day, which is both a marker of how far we’ve come in laying the foundation for greater inclusion, and an opportunity to re-imagine the future of sustainable social cohesion," Cable said.

"From our world-class, existing venues to our already built and operational Olympic Village at UCLA, our bid is 100 per cent committed to delivering the most accessible and inclusive Games in history."

One of the key areas of focus for Los Angeles 2024, they claim, is to study how to harness the global attention on hosting the Paralympic Games to raise awareness of the opportunities and benefits of Para-sport.

"We are also excited to leverage LA’s culture of creativity and innovation, as well as our ready-made connection with youth culture, to introduce the adaptive sport movement to the next generation of athletes," Cable added.

The UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities, December 3, has been held annually since 1992.

"Achieving 17 Goals for the Future We Want" was chosen as the theme this year, which marked the 10-year anniversary of the adoption of the UN’s Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Budapest and Paris are also bidding for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The International Olympic Committee is due to elect its chosen host city at its Session in Lima on September 13.
