I’m 14 years old and I’ve been a wheelchair user for the past  year. 

During the summer of 2020 I started experiencing bilateral pain in  my Achilles’ tendons. I needed crutches to get about and by the following summer was using a wheelchair full time.

Before this my favourite pastime was playing football & I  was captain of my local football team and I also  represented my school for rugby. 

When you have a visible difference you find others treat you differently and not always in a good way. This summer I am challenging myself to swim 6k for LimbPower.

LimbPower empower amputees and people with limb difference to seek lifelong rehabilitation through physical activity and sport and provide people with community and connection which is much needed when you feel isolated. Any amount that you are able to comfortably donate  is greatly appreciated.
