When even walking the dog is fraught with danger...#dogsofinstagram #freshair #walkies #lincolnshire #freewheel #wheelchair #paraplegic #covid-19 #mask #diy #protection #staysafe #stayhome #exercise

I started 2020 with a clear sporting aim, after 6 months of self-pity & feeling pretty depressed. The passion I have for long distance Triathlon was back & my sights were set on the IM 70.3 World Champs in N.Z. Then #COVID-19 threw a complete spanner in the works. I’m lucky, here in the U.K. we are still able to go outside for exercise, so a hand bike ride or run in the racing chair is positively joyful & I count my blessings every outdoor session. But today I was put on Furlough from my part-time job for a Charity, and everything is now very uncertain financially and my planned house move is on hold. So I am incredibly grateful to once again receive a Challenged Athletes Foundation grant to help me power through this challenging time. Being part of the CAF community is awesome! #CAFPowersThrough #TeamCAF #Ironman #AnythingIsPossible #IM70.3Lux #IM70.3WorldChamps #watchthisspace @cafoundation

Well, this wet & windy weather is not encouraging me to train on the racing chair, but having just booked a couple of races, I’d better get out there 😬 #wheelchairracing #racechair #paraathletics #running #paratriathlon

Always better training with friends, even in 7 degrees, damp & being sprayed with ‘muck’ from Country lanes 😬 oh, and discovering where @bbccountryfilelive ‘Tiddlywinks’ Wildlife Hospital is 🦔 made my day 🤗 #winter #handcycling #buckinghamshire #countryside #getoutside #onyerbike #reconnectwithnature

Happy New Year! Do what you love, be grateful for what you have & have fun! #newyear #onyerbike #newdecade #2020

Beyond grateful to @afpst for inviting me to a Para-Nordic skiing training camp in Norway 🇳🇴 this past week! I met so many ex-Military personnel learning new skills & growing in confidence both on & off the snow. We had the opportunity to ski on the World Cup course in Lillehammer, have a mini adventure in a snowstorm on new trails & eat moose burgers & have soup, lots of soup 😜 🤗#paranordic #sitski #parasport #skiing #norway #GBR
