My name is Charlotte Cox and I am 27 years old and I have Mosaic Down Syndrome, some see Down Syndrome as a disability I see it as part of me and I want to make the most of all the opportunities that come my way, fortunately Athletics has given me lots of opportunities, and I just want to keep on going!. I am now on TWITTER so please follow me @CharlotteCox_GB.
I live in a village near Cambridge with my Mum and Dad, my sister Harriet and my brother Will.

Here I am receiving the BBC East Disabled Sports Personality of the Year Award 2009 at Tattersalls in Newmarket.
I would like to thank all my family and friends for their continued support in getting me to my competitions. A big thank you to my coach Bryn Percival (C&C) and Harry at (Core Cambridge) for all their hard work and encouragement.
Thank you.
Charlotte
