Story
I have recently been selected to represent Scotland at the Cerebral Palsy World Games in Sant Cugat, Spain!
I have represented Scotland on a few occasions, I am currently the 200m champion for the Uk School games two years running, I also have Gold, silver & bronze medals from various other competitions! My biggest highlight to date has to be competing at the Muller Athletics Grand Prix in Glasgow competing against Paralympic and World champions.
I also attend the British Athletics Parallel Success Academy for specialist training in Loughborough and The Athletics Academy of Sporting Excellence in Manchester, both events supporting athletes through the progression pathway to becoming a world class athlete.
I hope to raise money to help with expenses etc to both of the training events and hopefully go to Portugal for warm weather training in April and to attend competitions all of the above is to prepare me for competing at my best at the CP Worlds In August!
All donations are very much appreciated and all this is hopefully a starting point to my journey of fulfilling my dreams of one day competing at the Paralymipics!

Abbie continues to make us proud and was delighted to be selected for The Games! Unfortunately due to funding cuts we have to fund the trip ourselves! We want Abbie to progress in her athletics but it becomes very difficult with little or no funding available!
