What is your sporting ambition?
I want to win a gold medal at the 2012 Paralympics on my home lake, and make other people with disabilities aware that you can be successful and overcome your disability.What was your inspiration to take up your sport?
I've always wanted to be good at a sport and after watching the Beijing Paralympics and hearing about athletes such as Helene Raynsford and what she has overcome, it gave me the drive to push for success. It made me realise that anyone can overcome their disabilities to find their passion.What are your interests outside of sport?
I have a passion for art and I love listening to music and reading. Other than that I just do normal stuff like watching films and seeing my friends.In your mind, what's the most memorable moment of past Olympics/Paralympics?
Usain Bolt set a new world record and winning gold in the 100 meters because I admire people that are outstanding in their field.What three words best describe you?
Competitive, determined, wittyWho should light the flame for London 2012?
In my opinion the flame should be lit by whichever British athlete or sports person made the biggest sporting achievement over this Olympiad.If you were a character from a film, who would you be and why?
Home Alone because it helped to pass the time and distract me from the pain when I was in hospital as a child.
