Very excited for a few weeks time!

Had such a great time presenting in person at a conference for the first time in a while. Lovely to have a live audience to engage with at the World Abilitysport physical activity and health conference in Edinburgh. So many important messages around the impact of sport on CP.

What a great conference. In so many ways! Thank you so much World Abilitysport for the opportunity to present my work and vision! More to come... watch this space! #collaboration Prof Cathie Sherrington thank you too, great to connect and have everyone in the same room

A shining light gone too soon. Glad I could attend and see the Para sport family come together to say goodbye ❤️
