Deaflympian. Swimmer. Campaigning for 1505 days to #EndDeafSportDiscrimination. Failed by a government policy & those that follow its lead. If you can support one you can support all. Let’s secure our future & the future of #DeafSport

For over 4 YEARS I have campaigned to our Government to END the DISCRIMINATION of #deaf #athletes. On Tuesday 14th October 2025 I will sit before the Culture, Media & Sport Select Committee alongside my life long friend & now team mate Henry & #UKDeafSport to share my story & my hope for the future

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social you are the one who gave me the platform to do this & for that I am grateful. It’s been a long & hard journey & I will never pretend it wasn’t but you have helped more than you know.

Thank you to everyone for standing with me on this fight

Just can’t let anyone go through this. So wrong. I just need to secure the future of young kids coming through.

Really appreciate your support. 4 years has just been too long. I’ve given up too much of my life to right this wrong but I would do it all over again. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you

DAY 1505 #MyChallenge to the Govt @DCMS @Lisanandy @TNLUK

#SportEngland “Simply put a negative experience could turn a child away from sport causing them to disengage & miss out on the extraordinary benefits of an active life”

This is why I will NEVER stop

We must END deaf sport discrimination
