London Marathon 2019 · 28 April 2019 ·

Sport has tremendous physical, psychological and social benefits for the participants, particularly young people. WheelPower provides and promotes opportunities for thousands of children and young adults with disabilities to participate in recreational and competitive wheelchair sport and improve their quality of life.

Story

I've been working at the National Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital since 2017.  My role is funded by a charity called Wheelpower.  

I'm a wheelchair skills demonstrator and mentor, I help support in patients who recently suffered a spinal cord injury which, as a life changing event, affects many aspects of life.  Many patients will need to use a wheelchair for life.  My job is to help patient recovery, alongside the permanent medical staff.  Patients can range from children to mature adults.  It's a thoroughly enjoyable job which gives me a huge amount of satisfaction.
