Sport CV

My passion for running started at the age of 11 and developed into a drive and motivation in my life. In school I was always competing in middle distance and cross country events at provincial and national championships level.  In matric I was introduce to athletics for persons with disabilities for the first time.  Due to my congenital arm amputee (just below my elbow) there is no middle distance events for my specific class. I therefore needed to develop my speed to be recognised as a 400m, 200m sprinter in my class.  Currently I’m a student at the University of Stellenbosch, studying to become a primary school teacher and competing for Maties in able body and disability sport athletics.

Disability Sport inspired me by seeing what people can do with what they have. My life has change for the better and everyday on the track is a blessing and training for the Paralympics is a dream of presenting my country. A dream that has started at a young age.  To make my dream a reality I’m putting 100 % into my preparation.  I believe that  “ I can do ALL things throught CHRIST who gives me strength !” Phillipians 4 : 13 .
