I have a strong sense that I have to educate people about disability.

I don't want to be competing in a sport where I feel that I'm here not on my talent and my hard work but because of a piece of equipment.

My parents didn't give me any scope to feel sorry for myself. They were just like 'go play with your brother, go climb a tree, go fall off your motorbike, do whatever you want. Don't come crying to us when you get scratched. You've got prosthetic legs - that's very nice.

I don't see myself as disabled. There's nothing I can't do that able-bodied athletes can do.

I'd like to show people that if you put the hard work in and you believe in yourself, then you can do whatever you want to.

Being disabled doesn't have to be a disadvantage.
