Track & Field
I am a 28 year old below knee amputee Bronze medalist sprinter. I am the fastest single leg amputee in Oceania history and I hold the New Zealand and Oceania records over 100m, 200m & 400m and the world record over 800m. I was born with both legs and then tragically lost my right leg in a work place accident when I was 18 and since then I have pushed myself to run a marathon, represent New Zealand in Para snow boarding and ultimately aim to become a Paralympian at the 2024 Paris games.
