 |  I was born with Hereditary Spastic Paralys - another form of Cerebral Palsy. When I was 19 I found out I had spinal degeneration in my L4, L5 with hip degeneration and arthritis throughout my body.
However, none of this has stopped me from trying to achieve my dreams! I have done a range of sports since I was a young child from able body hockey, soccer, volleyball and anything else I could get my hands on.
However, my first love - swimming - took over and I have represented Australia at the Cerebral Palsy World Championship Games where I won 3 silver medals. I have also been to plenty of National level swimming competitions over the past 4 years.
I just achieved another love in sport by playing Wheelchair basketball. I play with the Hill Hornets and have just been offered a scholarship to play for the University of Alabama in the States. I hope in 2012 I will be representing Australia in London. | |
