Got back into rowing in late 2012 after being inspired to give the sport I
love so much another try. I had rowed as a school boy and never thought I'd
be able to step back into a boat some 30 years later, especially after losing
most of my sight due to an eye disease.

Learning that blind rowers were taking part in the 2012 Paralympics gave me
the courage to find out about rowing courses that accommodated visually
impaired people. I was thrilled to find out that a local club did indeed
cater for people like myself, so I signed up.

Getting back into a boat was a real thrill and all the old memories of how
being in a boat felt came flooding back. I enjoyed my courses and have now taken up training on the indoor rower.

I'd like to say that if it wasn't for the kind and generous people that were
there to help me, I'd never be able to experience the sport that's so close
to my heart again.
