Having the opportunity to compete as an athlete amongst many different categories wasn’t something I thought was possible up until a decade ago.
I’d love sport growing up, but whether it was accessibility issues, my own self belief or lack of awareness of the availability – all that changed when I found bodybuilding.
The start of that journey and discovery of the mixed disability category with the PCA opened a path for me to have a once unthought of goal. An amazing target to aim for, to get on stage with my peers as an athlete, a bodybuilding platform in my own category.
Breaking through my own limiting barriers first and speaking up when I developed the confidence to suggest changes to help the industry was such a game changer not just in a physical sense but throughout other areas of my life too.
This 2024 season, I’m once again looking forward to competing but witnessing the growth in our mixed disability category continues to provide a sense of collective pride. Those barriers continue to be broken down, access and awareness of the sport is soaring and more people are having the opportunity to get stage in 2024…
There are two shows to kick off the season both here in the UK and in France this past week – and the first category to start things off as ever is Mixed Disability 👍💪
Let’s have a great season, wishing everyone all the best and I’ll be cheering you all on…let’s do this!
With Gratitude,
💚
