00:17Now tonight we honour a remarkable young person who has overcome her disabilities to become a champion for others.
00:25Despite her challenges, she is determined to make a difference, showing incredible dedication to her studies and sports.
00:35Recently, she established her own foundation to support athletes with disabilities, to bridge the gap between mainstream and disability sport.
