Condon helped McIntyre back into position and ended up coming third.[3][5] His final Paralympics were the 1988 Seoul Games, where he won a silver medal in the Men's Slalom 2 event.[3] He won a total of seven Paralympic medals and 36 medals in international competitions throughout his career.[6] He was one of the founding members of Parafed Canterbury, which strives to boost sport and recreational involvement among the disabled.[7] He was also a board member of the national sports agency SPARC for five years.[8] Condon was elected as a Christchurch city councillor in 1995 and served four terms as a city councillor.[1][9] He was standing for re-election for the Shirley-Papanui ward in the October 2007 election.[1] DeathOn Saturday 8 September 2007 the 58-year-old Condon was killed in an accident involving a car while riding his hand-propelled bicycle.[1] He was struck by a fifteen-year-old driver on Lower Styx Road, Brooklands.[10] The funeral was held at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament where hundreds of mourners paid their respects.[11] He was survived by his wife of 35 years, Kath, and his two children, Craig and Andrea.[1][21] RecognitionCondon was awarded a Queen's Service Medal for community service in the 1982 Queen's Birthday Honours[12] and a New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal in 1990.[13] The Graham Condon Recreation and Sports Centre in Papanui, which opened on 9 October 2011, is named after him.[14] Parafed Canterbury have also named a scholarship after him.[7] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|url=http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Society/People/C/Condon-Graham/|title=Graham Condon|publisher=Christchurch City Libraries|accessdate=11 August 2012}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Condon, Graham}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/411749/1338421|title=High achiever Condon remembered|publisher=TVNZ|date=9 September 2007|accessdate=19 March 2008}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{IPC profile|surname=Condon}}.
