Ava Expand "For a long time, I didn’t think sport was for me, especially as a wheelchair user. I’d seen para-sports before, but had never had the chance to take part. That changed when I discovered wheelchair basketball sessions near me - and since then I’ve explored a range of adaptive sports and now hope to try wheelchair dancing and adapted climbing."Ava is passionate about contributing to the development of more diverse and inclusive sports projects. As well as joining the Access Sport Youth Board she is also working with her university to help create more accessible offers so that others can benefit from the same opportunities that she's had.
Emily Expand Emily is deaf and loves taking part in sport, particularly basketball due to her height. Her dream future job is a basketball coach as she is passionate about helping people and enjoys working out.“I want to help people and make them understand that disability does not mean you can't do anything.”
