I'm in the sixth form at school studying PE, psychology and double IT. After sixth form I hope to go to Loughborough University to study sports science.

I love playing sport and I've tried most of them. My main sport now is para table tennis - I'm a full-time wheelchair user. I have been selected for the World Class Performance Squad for Great Britain and am currently the under-19 UK schools champion. My dream is to be selected for the London 2012 Paralympics. I will have to put in a lot of practice and hard work to achieve this. I have an international tournament coming up in May in Romania.

My first time driving was at the Mobility Roadshow last year - it was brilliant and I'm now having lessons in my own car. The roadshow is great, and it was how I decided what car would be good for me. I want to try flying at this year's roadshow. - Do you know a child or young person with a story to tell?
