:04:44. > :04:47.withdrawn on Wednesday, if ht's deemed her chances of winning a
:04:48. > :04:50.medal in 2016 are too weak. Tom Turrell reports.
:04:51. > :04:53.Six years ago Gemma was diagnosed with a malfunction in her ndrvous

:04:58. > :05:02.Representing Great Britain `t wheelchair fencing she compdted at
:05:03. > :05:06.the London 2012 Paralympics. Two years on and she's returned to her
:05:07. > :05:09.old primary school near Ayldsbury to inspire pupils, but what thdy
:05:10. > :05:21.probably don't realise is that their hero's sporting future rests on a
:05:22. > :05:27.knife edge. Her sights are now firmly set on competing in Rio de
:05:28. > :05:32.Janeiro in 2016. But to do that she must be able to train all ydar
:05:33. > :05:35.round. That is not cheap. UK Sport is the organisation that
:05:36. > :05:38.provides that kind of money, but they reward athletes like Gdmma
:05:39. > :05:41.depending on their chance of a medal. They've already thre`tened to
:05:42. > :05:48.withdraw her funding and shd appealed. She'll find out if she's
:05:49. > :05:59.won or lost in 48 hours timd. My hopes are pinned on that decision.
:06:00. > :06:04.You can only get ranking pohnts by going to the top competitions. You
:06:05. > :06:07.need the funding to do so. Gemma's strength in the facd of
:06:08. > :06:12.adversity though is a message that isn't being lost on these primary
:06:13. > :06:20.school children. Even if yot have a disability that is no reason to give
:06:21. > :06:23.up. You must never give up. Gemma is clearly already a legend at
:06:24. > :06:27.Aston Clinton Primary, but she'll have to wait until Wednesdax to see
:06:28. > :06:30.if she has any chance of achieving her Olympic ambitions.
