What is your sporting ambition?
To win gold at the Paralympics in London 2012 in my respective events
What was your inspiration to take up your sport?
I wanted to get out and do something and it was suggested that I try shooting. I really enjoyed the sport and found I was pretty good at it. After visiting the national squad training in Stoke Mandeville I wanted to do the same - to be the best in my sport.
What are your interests outside of sport?
Amateur photography and model helicopter flying
In your mind, what's the most memorable moment of past Olympics/Paralympics?
The most memorable moment of the Beijing 2008 Paralympics was wheeling into the final’s hall with thousands of people cheering and of course not forgetting entering into the ‘Birds Nest’ stadium at the Opening Ceremony.
What three words best describe you?
Determined, because if I want to do something I will get it done
Who should light the flame for London 2012?
Eleanor Simmonds, not only because she won double gold medals, but because of her age; it shows other younger athletes that they too can be successful in their sport.
