Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On Sunday 3rd September, I am running the Big Half Marathon for Disability Sports Coach because I want to help the charity give more sports and coaching opportunities to people across London.
The charity uses the power of sport to enhance the lives of disabled people.
I joined the charity’s Club Southwark at the age of 16 to play sport.
I enjoyed all sports while at the club and soon took on the role of volunteer, supporting disabled club members to participate in activities.
Members play a variety of sports including basketball, boccia, tennis and football.
I’m very happy to now be a paid coach. It shows my confidence in my abilities and that I can do a great job.
I like delivering sports sessions and adapting sport so that everyone can play. It’s good to give members tactics and techniques to improve their performance too.
I am passionate about disability inclusion in sport. Disabled people need to be able to play sports, not just non-disabled people.
They need to practise sport with friends just like anyone else – when you’re playing sport you never feel alone.
