‘I never thought in a million years I would be going to the Paris Paralympics.’ Callie-Ann, a Diagnostic Radiographer at Princess Royal University Hospital, will live her dream this week as she represents Team GB in the Paralympic Games in the S10 Butterfly, SB10 Breaststroke, and SM10 Individual Medley. Callie-Ann has an impairment that affects the left side of her body. It causes uncontrollable spasms and contractions of the muscles, which has resulted in her losing mobility of her left leg. Since first getting in the water at just 16 weeks old, Callie-Ann is now the world number three in the World Para Swimming rankings for Butterfly and is also the current European champion in the S10 100m Butterfly. ‘I will do my best in Paris and give everything I have but I am hoping it won’t be my last Paralympics.’ Good luck Callie-Ann! 🏊♀️ #WeAreTheNHS #Paris2024 #ParalympicsGB

We all need to draw inspiration from your motivation, dedication, and drive to achieve, if we want to truly understand the purpose of our existence.

Good luck, Callie-Ann! An inspiration on so many levels.
