Biography:
After a spinal injury in 2012, I spent 4 years in hospital rehabilitating. It’s been a very long journey and I’m still trying to get stronger. After Covid lockdowns I wanted to participate in something social. I went to a come and try day in November 2021 and I haven’t stopped playing since then. I never thought it would lead me to playing on an international level and hoping to qualify for the Paralympics.
Interesting Fact:
I cycled from the north to the south of Vietnam. One of my life’s fondest experiences.
