When and how did you get involved in sport?

When I was five years old, my head mistress organised to get me my first sports wheelchair, That was me hooked, never looked back.

Career highlights to date:

Winning the 2021 40th Anniversary Great North Run Elite Wheelchair Half Marathon Race.

Also winning the 2021 Manchester Marathon Elite Wheelchair Race.

Most recently being selected to represent Scotland at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games for the T54 Marathon race.

What are your ambitions for the Commonwealth Games?

To soak up the experience of the games and to learn as much as possible from the  experience of the whole event.

To hopefully achieve a podium finish in the race.

Do you have one piece of advice for an aspiring athlete?

My dad always says to me, that life is not a dress rehearsal. If you get the opportunity to take part in something that you love and are capable of participating in whatever it may be. Just go for it. Everything to gain and nothing to lose.
