When I was 13 years old, I was diagnosed with a rare eye condition called Stargardt’s Disease.I grew up with completely normal vision but when I was around 9 years old it rapidly deteriorated within an 18 month period. I decided to take up athletics when I finished school and ended up loving the sport. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to meet some amazing people whilst representing Great Britain & NI.

I love seeing how far we can take our bodies and pushing ourselves to speeds/distances that we didn’t think we were capable of.
