Thank you British Blind sport for helping me realise that there is so much more to me than being an athlete. My time in the world class program has honed so many skills I didn’t realise I had

After receiving a rather upsetting email from UK sports a month ago, I decided to finally speak up. Athletes deserve a voice and people have the right to know the truth.

Less than one week to go until I ride The tour de 4 to help raise money to fight cancer. There’s still plenty of time to donate if you can. Let’s do this! https://t.co/vzc5BUbDGi

The majority of my life has been spent expecting more from myself I need to be stronger, faster, more powerful, more confident, win more medals. I lost sight of I am enough as I am. No one is more suited to the role of Lora than me. Here’s to a fresh start of being enough.

Considering I woke up in a different country to my pilot the fact that we made it to the start line of the road race today at the world champs is an achievement in itself. Finishing 6th wasn’t what we hoped for but we made the best of it and couldn’t have done any more.

Just wanted to share a lovely comment we received when @neilfachie shared this photo. We may have won bronze and silver, but Fraser is our Gold. The truth of it made me cry.

8 Years ago today I fulfilled the dream of becoming a Paralympic champion. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in defending that title in Paris this year.Hhowever, the memories will live with me for a lifetime. Truly won the best feelings ever.

In the past I was lead to believe it was gold or nothing, That bronze was not good enough. I’m working hard to rectify this. Winning a medal of any colour is not easy at a Paralympics. I’ve fought hard for each and every medal and I’m proud of my 3 bronzes @ParalympicsGB
🥉🥉🥉 A hat-trick of bronze medals for Lora Fachie & Corrine Hall 🙌 #Paris2024 #Paralympics #IAmLimitless

It's time for Equal Play ✊ ParalympicsGB is today launching a campaign calling for equal access to PE and school sport for disabled children. Shockingly, just one in four say they currently take part in sport at school. My son deserves better. #ParalympicsGB | #EqualPlay
