Strong Women: ‘Disabled people are only told what they can’t do – sport changed that’Strong Women: ‘Disabled people are only told what they can’t do – sport changed that’A recent Sport England study found that 75% of women are put off from being active due to a fear of judgement. After becoming disabled, finding disability sport helped me get through what was obviously an incredibly difficult time. I work with a sports charity Panathlon Challenge, which brings sport to over 20,000 disabled children a year. I think sport has had an extremely positive impact on my mental health as well as my physical. Disabled or not, I think everyone should be involved in some sort of sport or physical activity.
