The @Paralympics movement continues to disappoint. Lower class female swimmers have 11 races in #Tokyo2020 - the status of severely disabled athletes can never be repaired if events are not there. Is it possible to be too disabled for Paralympic sport? Yes it is. @christheowl

Wonderful to catch up with some of the old swimming gang to celebrate our former team doc turning 70! Genuine respect & love for one of the kindest & most unassuming staff members we've ever worked with. We love you, Dezza! 💗

There are not enough characters to sum up how incredible this man is. Derek always goes above and beyond with every athlete he works with. https://t.co/0G3Gt7gWJr

Great to have so many of the old gang back together to celebrate one of the most honest & well thought of staff members we’ve worked with reaching 70! 🎉Happy Birthday, Dezza🎉

It's like actual fricking Christmas. Well Christmas Eve cos no electric wheels yet but they're coming!! It also needs adjusting because it's very rigid at the moment. BUT this thing took 14 months to get!!! Credit to @christheowl mostly 💕👋

Today @Frannywill's wheelchair finally broke. CCG not responded in 3 wks to MP letter. Now engaging with social services on emergency plans

Our Sports Leaders working with @Frannywill as part of @SkyAcademy programme

[Dr Chris Whitaker @christheowl]

Part of being a good leader is actually turning up. Unlike May #bbcdebate

[Dr Chris Whitaker @christheowl]

Had a visit from the OT today re @Frannywill‘s chair. What a refreshing change to actually be listened to & have some common sense!

[Fran Williamson @Frannywill]

There's music playing over the commentary sets @bbcsport #ilovesnooker

[Fran Williamson @Frannywill]

Love the fact that @christheowl Has the new harry styles song on repeat. Think he has a problem

[Fran Williamson @Frannywill]

I don't speak out much about impairment. BUT here is my perspective on what it means to have the "right" wheelchair https://t.co/G7jH98dSOs

[Fran Williamson @Frannywill]

It's fun to fight for what you want but exhausting to fight for what you need!! https://t.co/khD0Y0MMC9

[Dr Chris Whitaker @christheowl]

Latest bit of fun & games. @Frannywill‘s wheelchair has been funded but not the electric wheels to make it work. Why is everything a battle?

[North Walsham High @NWHS]

Fantastic inspirational speech by @Frannywill to some of our Year 10 students.

[Notley HS PE @NotleyHighPE]

Our year 8/9 @SkySportsLFS students had a great day with @Frannywill on Friday! 😊🏊🏼‍♀️ #livingforsport
