Happy birthday mum. Up at 4am to take me training & at my side every step of the way. You taught me that I can do anything & that there should be no barriers. We do this together #BirthdayWishes

DAY 1384 #MyChallenge to the Govt @DCMS @Lisanandy @TNLUK Our Government & National Lottery give £millions to UK Sport for the investment into Olympic & Paralympic Sport. This destroys my commitment, my dreams & my existence. A failed government policy. Is this going to be allowed to continue?

DAY 1383 #MyChallenge to the Govt @DCMS @Lisanandy @TNLUK Our country discriminates deaf athletes because a policy dictates it. Imagine being the leader of a country at war but still having the compassion & resources to support its athletes. That’s exactly what Ukraine has done. #DeafSport

DAY 1378 #MyChallenge to the Govt @DCMS @Lisanandy @TNLUK Well today I dedicate to @reecedinsdale.bsky.social. Not sure what I would have done without his support this week. I’m just a swimmer who’s deaf & wants to represent my country but a policy hides my existence. He lent me a ladder #equality

Do you know how much government funding deaf athletes get in this country? Nothing. Not a penny. Zero. They preach about sporting equality, so where is it?! Help the lad get to Tokyo to represent us at the 2025 Deaflympics. 👇 Every £1 makes a difference. 🫶 Give him a follow. Witness the fight.

I'm going to be a right pain in the arse for the next three days at least about this. If you can help, then please HELP! I'd give Nathan the lot if I had it to give. I can't see people struggling and suffering discrimination. It isn't right and I hate this government (and the other lot) for it.

Thanks. To be honest I am finding it difficult to ask people again to fund me because of a failed government policy. No one should have to. People are struggling enough. If I don’t go it’s the fault of the government. No one else. 1372 days of asking for their support knowing they can change this

Thanks @trishtoo.bsky.social. This is going to be a tough task as again we are seeing deaf athletes having to sacrifice vital training to fundraise because our government fail is. Their policy discriminates our existence. This cannot be allowed to happen ever again.

In every way @maggiebyton.bsky.social. Thank you. I am coaching today. No deaf athlete should have to beg for their governments support. In what way is this ok. 1372 days asking the to help me & still they do nothing. Again last night my X account was blocked because I speak the truth?

I have until 21st March to raise £1,400 deposit to compete in 25th Deaflympics in Tokyo because our Govt @DCMS & National Lottery do not acknowledge deaf athletes. It’s that simple. As a Para S15 swimmer, the fastest deaf swimmer in the Country I receive nothing #DiscriminationFeedsDiscrimination

Amazing support from @sam-b13.bsky.social. This is everything⬇️. On 21st March I have to hand over £1,400 deposit to compete in 25th Deaflympics in Tokyo. Why? Because our Govt & National Lottery do not acknowledge deaf athletes. It’s that simple. #DiscriminationFeedsDiscrimination
