“A very big thank you on the support HASSRA gave me this year with sponsorship.

I was picked for the Great Britain transplant sports team and attended the World Transplant games in Bangkok Thailand, held 25th of August to the 2nd if September.

The GB team won 293 medals in total and won the overall event.

I myself won two bronze medals, one in the squash and the other in the 400mtrs freestyle.

Due to me having both left and right below knee amputations, I compete against able bodied competitors.

Thank you very much once again for the sponsorship”.
