:01:06. > :01:13.OK. Obviously I had my dog days like every disabled person does but I had
:01:14. > :01:21.a strong family around me and good brothers that were strong and I
:01:22. > :01:26.didn't dwell on it too much. Tell me how you came to realise about
:01:27. > :01:35.wheelchair racing. Through the London Marathon, really. I was a fan
:01:36. > :01:41.early on. I would go and watch it, even from the age of four upwards, I
:01:42. > :01:45.always wanted to watch the marathon because it was the only race you saw
:01:46. > :01:52.wheelchairs in and saw wheelchairs on TV. The dream was to win the
:01:53. > :01:58.marathon and I have done that now. You have definitely done that! Do
:01:59. > :02:04.you have any advice for not just me but anyone in a chair wanting to
:02:05. > :02:10.become an athlete? Just really enjoy it. There are so many Paralympic
:02:11. > :02:17.sports that you can do. Pick one that you really love doing. There
:02:18. > :02:22.are so many. Try them all. I tried everything and found the one that I
:02:23. > :02:27.absolutely loved. What are you expecting from the Commonwealth
:02:28. > :02:31.Games? I will just do my best on the day. I don't want to put too much
:02:32. > :02:42.pressure on myself. Obviously I train to win and I would love to win
:02:43. > :02:49.a gold medal. That is the aim. Any medal will do. Thank you very much
:02:50. > :02:56.for letting me interview you. You are very welcome. I can't believe
