I was thrilled and honoured to be part of South Cambs District Council celebration of the paralympic torch coming to Milton. I was really excited to carry the lanten across the lake and to be part of something very special. It was a great day and one I will remember for a very long time.
Big thanks to South Cambs for giving me the chance to do this.
Good luck to all the athletes taking part in London 2012 Paralympics you are so lucky.

Today I competed in the Southern Region Championships at Thames Valley.
I did two events the 100m coming second with a silver medal and the Longjump winning and getting a gold medal.
Really pleased as last week was the first week since the 10K I have been able to train fully.
Really pleased with my performance and now turning up the training and effort for Russia in September.
Keep all your fingers crossed for me

After I ran the British 10K I said never again, I am a sprinter and I know my place. I had a great time training for the event and looking back I am glad I did it but at the time it was very hard. I shall keep focussing on my sprints and every time I feel my coach Bryn is pushing me I will remember the 10K.
Today Dad and I are running the British 10K to raise funds for the Special Olympics.
This will be the furthest distance I have ever run. Wish me luck and hope dad can keep up, his furthest race was the Toft Village Jubilee fun run which was 1.5km.

Dad and I ran the event in 1hour 20mins for a sprinter I was very pleased with this, we were really pleased that Mum, Will, Harriet and Connor came to cheer us on. Mum was very jealous when I told her I got to meet Ray Wilkins earlier in the day.
After this event it is back into sprint training for the Europeon Championships in Russia in September.

Some More Photo’s of when I carried the torch at Haverford West on 27.5.12
I was very luckly to be given the opportunity to be an Olympic Torch Bearer, I did my run on 27.5.12 in Haverford West.
Fastastic day and made me very proud.
Day one of competition and I did the 100m winning my first gold in a time on 15.56 (second place was 19.19) in torrential rain.
Day Two and I did the 400m winning my second gold with a time of 1.24 (second place was 1.44)
Day Three and I did the 200m winning my third gold in a time of 33.13 not a pb but a seasons best (second place was 41.24)
Also did the Longjump with 2.48 (second place was 2.43) but myself and the girl who came second usually jump around 2.90 & 2.80 respectively so we were abit of the mark.
Arrived in the Azores, no sunshine yet but lots of rain and floods, feels like being at home in England.
We have a few days to get sorted before the competition, so we are off Whale watching!
Training for the competition. Will keep you posted how it goes.
Wish me luck

This was a home competition for C&C who hosted the Southern Womens league, so it was nice to take part in an event with all my training partners, I was a now scorer but really pleased with my Longjump which was 2.75, my 100 was abit slow at 16.1 but my 200m has improved to 33.9.
Hopefully will get it down further for my next competition which is in the Azores on 15.5.12
