About Me
I was born in Sydney in 2000 (the year of the Sydney Olympics). I was born with a condition called pseudo-arthrosis, which means my tibia (the big bone in your leg, below your knee) was born kind of bent. I had a lot of operations when I was a little kid, and I've worn a big brace on my left leg since I was 5-days-old. In March 2008 my left leg was chopped off (amputated) by my doctor.
My Dreams
I want to be an artist and a singer.
It used to my dream to wear two shoes. I only ever wore one shoe before my operation. Now I can wear matching shoes, and I can run. It is my dream to get a proper running leg and run like my friends.
Proudest Moment
Getting a medal for running in the Gold Coast Marathon Junior Dash. I ran in the marathon on the same day that my Godparents in London were running in fun runs to raise money for my prosthetics.
