I got called “inspirational” the other day…. because I got on a train.

I know people mean well. Sometimes it comes from awkwardness, or not knowing what to say, but it isn’t a compliment.

I had the privilege of delivering the keynote speech for The Pokemon Company as part of Disability Pride Month

What a brilliant conversation with such a genuine team! We covered everything from visibility to barriers - and most importantly, why disability is something that we can find pride in

Well, we smashed it!

Check out some of the lovely reviews we’ve had. Huge thank you to everyone who have shared such lovely feedback on Shoot for the Stars

Yay! Shoot for the Stars is now out!

I am super excited. This is the book I wanted growing up and has been inspired by talking to girls about the challenges they face getting into sport.

I really hope it helps lots of young people build confidence and have fun in sports

One week to go until Shoot for the Stars is out 💫

I poured my heart into this book and I really hope it helps girls stay in sport, feel confident and have fun playing. If you are looking for an empowering, inspiring handbook for tackling all the highs and lows of sport this is for you

Come on a speech with me…

I recently had the honour of delivering the after dinner speech at @the_cisi Guernsey Annual Gala. A spectacular evening and it was great to share the highs, lows and nail biting moments that have shaped my journey so far.

Thank you for such a lovely review - such a privilege getting to write about a topic close to my heart and your feedback is awesome

Celebrating life the right way 🥂

A wonderful afternoon at the Buckingham Palace garden party with my Dad. Cucumber sandwiches on the lawn, a walk around the lake and front row seats to meet the King and Queen.

Thanks to the Royal Commonwealth Society for nominating me

Happy World Book Day 📖

I am super excited to hear that kids want to come to school dressed as their favourite athletes from Run Like A Girl! It’s amazing to hear the impact that the stories are having on children and I can’t wait to see the photos 💕

Have an awesome day!

On Monday I’ll be reading some chapters from Run Like A Girl and doing a Q&A for the Reading For Life project with Children Today Charity. This is an online storytelling session for children featuring themes about disability, to help promote inclusivity, boost self-confidence & inspire young readers

Disability representation in children’s books is too low. Books are a great way to experience all the different aspects of life and it goes a long way when you find people just like you on the pages. I make sure that disabled people are represented - equally - alongside the role models I spotlight 💡

Excited to be reading from #RunLikeAGirl on 27 Jan 📖

Reading for Life is a brilliant project, bringing together inclusion and reading - two things close to my heart 💕

It would be awesome if you’d like to come along - and please tag in parents and teachers

It never gets old seeing your book out in the wild 💕

So I’m leaving 2024 with a smile, lots of lessons learned and so much energy for 2025.

Let’s do this! 💪🏻

Wishing you a healthy, happy and successful new year 💕
