General
STARTING OUT
She says she was not keen to try wheelchair basketball to begin with as she did not want to be associated with a wheelchair. "At first I didn't want to do it because I was quite independent and didn't want to use a wheelchair. I could see past my disability and didn't want to associate myself with a wheelchair. [Joining a club] made me realise that there's nothing wrong with being in a wheelchair and it gave me confidence." (newburytoday.co.uk, 16 Sep 2013)
