I grew up not really thinking I had a disability. I grew up thinking I had different shoes.

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.

Everyone has setbacks. I'm no different. I happen to have no legs. That's pretty much the fact.

I have run two Olympic 'A' standard times over the past 12 months and with the time I ran at the African Championships last week I know my speed and fitness are constantly improving so that I will peak in time for the Olympics.

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.

The only disability in life is having a bad attitude

Being disabled doesn't have to be a disadvantage.
