In 1945 the house was donated by Lady Michaelis, along with 50,000 to become a home for ex-servicemen with spinal injuries, at the request of Dr. Luttwig Guttmann who believed that injured soldiers should not be defined by their disabilities and deserved to live a full and active life. In 1948 Dr. Guttmann started the Stoke Mandeville games, which would later become the Paralympic Games. In the London 2012 Paralympic games, 4,032 athletes from 164 countries proved that a disability does not stop you from achieving amazing things.
