CP Sport have collected a range of profiles from people with CP that participate in sport. We will be posting these profiles daily throughout CP Awareness Month (March) to celebrate positive stories and inspire people to take part in the future.

How have you benefited from participating in your chosen sport? I have benefited by improving my overall strength and fitness from sport, my training makes me work on my weak side in order to get better overall and has improved my day to day life because of it (e.g stretching everyday). 
What are your ambitions in sport? I want to continue competing against both able bodied and disabled athletes, and I would like to represent GB in Athletics. My dream is to become a Paralympian one day.
Why should other people give your sport a go? It’s fun, challenging and makes you feel proud about your accomplishments.
Are there any further opportunities you like to see be made available in your sport? Yes, I would love for there to be more disability competitions available as I compete mainly against able bodied athletes.
