Having this financial assistance would allow me to focus more on my university studies as well as upcoming World Championships and reduce the number of hours I would have to work to support myself. As a Para-athlete, work also places a lot of strain and stress on my body, so this assistance means a lot to me.

I feel as though every athlete should have different outlets besides their sport. This helps create a well-rounded athlete with other interests and hobbies. Studying a degree at university allows me to be passionate in another area of life assisting my mental health and unlocking my potential to win well in all aspects of my life.
