"A lot of people will call me an Olympian, which I appreciate because it's such an honour to be an Olympian. But I am a Paralympian. The truth of it is the Paralympics are two weeks later. I feel like it's my job to educate people. Not from a place of bitterness or hurt, I just feel like it's my job to educate people. We're not the Special Olympics, we're not the Olympics, we're the Paralympics. If you understand that as a community you can come support me in ways that no one ever has before."
