Great to be back at the @EnglandAthletic National Awards and Hall of Fame dinner surrounded by the incredible volunteers, coaches, officials and athletes who collectively make athletics such a special sport. Special congratulations to @Marathonchamp on your induction!

So very saddened to hear that the man to whom I owe literally my whole athletics career and much more to, John Anderson has passed. There really are no words to adequately describe the impact that Johnโs support, kindness, encouragement and belief had on my life. Rest well John.

Here is my official statement on my retirement from Para athletics at the end of this season. I've always loved competing in this sport and will be forever indebted to all those who helped me to thrive in it. I'm excited for the next chapter.
