"Dear Nike. Can I buy just one shoe because I only have one foot?"
The answer was no.
And it's not that I expect every company to accommodate my situation.
But they were using blade running mannequins in store (which I loved!)
And inclusive advertising should match reality.
"Dear Nike. Please can I buy just one shoe because I only have one foot"
I hope Nike keeps their amputee models ๐.
But I also hope Nike will reconsider how they sell shoes.

Me: "I'm going to go for the wall sit world record"
My husband: "Great! But also...why?"
Valid question. One I asked myself as my legs shook and my back dripped with sweat
The answer: I wanted to know if I had the guts to go for it ๐!
Happy 70th Anniversay @GWR
25 years ago I was run over by a boat
I became a leg amputee. Thought life was finished.
Fast forward, & I completely missed my 25 year ampuversary.
The thing I once thought was worse than death?
I barely notice now.
No matter how hard something, feels it can changeโฅ๏ธ
In just 2 sentences, my mum taught me 3 important lessons:
1) My artificial leg ๐ฆฟis not the most interesting thing about me
2) You never know what someone is thinking, so you may as well assume the best
3) Letting other people's opinions dictate your plans is dumb
2 weeks to the @LondonMarathon .
I will be running to support Ukrainian amputees. There are over 100,000 new amputees since the start of the war.
Life can still be awesome as an amputee if you can access the help you need.

A team just like this saved my life.
I never got to thank them for their help. But I loved meeting the @LDNairamb and I am beyond proud to be an ambassador!

Excited to step into the role of Trustee!
I have a life I never dreamed of as a kid. Because I wasn't a boy.
I'm excited by the changes already happening in women's sport, and I can't wait to see where it goes!
