After finding out I had a disability, and a rapid decline in my physical health, finding disability sport completely changed my outlook on life and what I was capable of, in and out of sport.

With opportunities for people with disabilities to be involved in sport becoming scarcer in my community, I have been working to rebuild and develop projects across Swindon, including helping to rebuild Swindon Shock Wheelchair Basketball, supporting my local wheelchair rugby team and providing inclusive sport to local schools.

"I've joined the Access Sport Youth Board to help give disadvantaged communities a voice and help shape projects to provide more amazing opportunities - without wheelchair basketball I wouldn't be the person I am today, and I want to help give more people the chance to realise there potential."
