I have been raised in a sporting family, my Father played Rugby League and we were encouraged to try sports and music or

whatever we wanted to try. We tried and excelled at sports as children. I continued to play sports until a serious car accident at University that caused semi permanent paralysis. My own journey to health and overcoming the consequences of permanent spine and nerve damage plus a diagnosis of breast cancer and a battle through eating disorders including anorexia and 7 stone weight

loss has reinforced my positivity and lead me to this platform that I am so passionate about.
