Sport has rescued my mental health on a number of occasions and has helped me to form a lot of the important friendships I have in my life. It’s also a time where I can appreciate what my body does for me/can do (rather than find negatives).

I am grateful that I have always had access to/ have always been encouraged to move and be active.

Unfortunately, not everyone has this. Maybe it’s due to lack of confidence, inaccessibility or financial reasons.

I would like all women to have access to movement because I believe that it is integral to physical and mental health. Sport should be for everyone. Women in sport is trying to remove barriers to sport and I would like to support them to do this. I hope you would like to help too.

Even 10 years later the This Girl Can advert sticks in my mind. The message is still as important now as it was when I was 13. Get ur freak on and get moving 😁
