My name is Richard,

I'm 33 and disabled

I will be undertaking the Swansea Half Marathon on the 24TH of June this year to raise vital funds for 2 awesome groups: Swansea Storm Wheelchair Basketball Club and Headway Swansea.

Swansea Storm Wheelchair Basketball club, providing opportunities to disabled people to get active and have fun!

Swansea Storm Wheelchair Basketball Club in Swansea, we cater from beginners to league players, from juniors to adults. We are growing year on year and we have a very successful team in the 3rd division. We have a great social aspect to the club and we all support each other in different ways.

they get active, get fit, get confident and get a better quality of life, allowing further opportunities in life through boosted self esteem. We also show the competitive aspect of disability sport to the general public, this can be great for breaking down social stereotypes.
