@Ade Adepitan , Phryges and my take on this trend… Please laugh with us because dark humour is great sometimes 🤣💗 PR event with @Channel 4 in Paris, watching the @paralympics #Paris2024 #comedy #disabledisntabadword #C4Paralympics
Send help… I now have no fully working limbs! MY ARMS 😭😭😭 watch me go from 😊 to 💀 as I take part in the Great North Run (Roll). At least I got plenty of oranges! #gnr2024 #greatnorthrun #comedy #chronicillness #wheelchairgirl #beforeandafter
Who saw us today? Lifting my arms for this was DIFFICULT 😭😭 over 3hours later and we’re still stuck in traffic 💀😵 #gnr2024 #greatnorthrun #halfmarathon #wheelchairlife
I may have skipped leg day but that doesn’t make me receiving the @Great Run finisher medal any less valid. Self propelling a wheelchair takes a lot of upper body strength and is something I was once told would never be possible due to my left hand/wrist deformity. That 13.1 miles was one of the hardest things I’ve put my body through and I am proud of what I accomplished. Whether we used out legs or arms, we still completed that half marathon! #halfmarathon #wheelchairgirl #chronicillness #bekind #satisfying #gnr2024
Why do my favourite people have to get old 😭 RIP Maggie 🕊️ such an amazing actress 💔 #maggiesmith #rip #professormcgonagall #harrypotter #sisteract #downtonabbey #breakingnews #uk
As you can tell, I am NOT a morning person 🤣 Get ready with me for the Great North Run (or should I say roll) half marathon from Newcastle to South Shields… #greatnorthrun #gnr2024 #wheelchairgirl #chronicillness #satisfying #grwm #halfmarathon
I only just moved from a power chair to a manual chair just over 6 months ago 🥹 I can’t believe I was able to actually do this! Don’t get me wrong, this was extremely difficult but I managed to get to the finish line in 2hrs47mins and proved my old OT very wrong! What should I challenge myself to next? This is definitely the year of pushing myself to try new challenges! #greatnorthrun #gnr2024 #halfmarathon #comedy #chronicillness #wheelchairgirl #comewithme
TOMORROW is the day I prove my old OT wrong, whilst supporting an amazing cause! If you are there, I need all the support I can get to motivate me to keep rolling so feel free to scream and shout my name (and whatever you feel like saying) as I pass you 🙌💗 See you all at the finish line!!!

Never thought I would go abseiling again, let alone IN A WHEELCHAIR! Thanks @Calvert Exmoor for letting me experience this, having the best time with you all! #giftedstay #calvertexmoor #accessibleadventure #comedy #chronicillness #wheelchairlife
We got stuck on a train… I thought I was going to have to climb out the window 😬 Grand Central, please can you invest in some new equipment 🫠#grandcentral #wheelchairgirl #whyme
My first time riding a horse since becoming a wheelchair user and this is how it went… thank you so much to @Calvert Exmoor and the beautiful Ruby for making this possible (Gifted Trip) 🥰 Absolutely loving this series, challenging myself to do things that I never thought would be possible again! What should I do next? #horseriding #comedy #wheelchairgirl
I’ve never been to a catholic wedding before, It was so beautiful 🥹💒 SO happy for my lovely friend and her new husband 💍💕 I didn’t know who would be at the wedding and I was so afraid that it would be like a school reunion… thankfully everyone was sooo lovely it it was great to see them all again and find out what their lives are like now- a lot can change in 13 years! Congratulations Rocio and Charlie xxx #wedding #comedy #schoolreunion
