I have done it. Everything I have been working for over the past four years has finally come together and last week it was announced that I have been selected for the Winter Paralympic Games.

I can not hide my excitement or wipe the smile off my face. I have worked hard over the past four years and am thrilled to be named in a seven athlete strong team. We have a strong team and the whole thing is going to be a massive experience. I will be competing in the Slalom and GS and of course I will do my best to bring everyone back some hardware!

I would like to thank all my friends and family who have supported me over the last few years and especially my sponsors Mars Refuel Drinks, TASS and Get Kids Going who have all made this dream possible.

I have been home for the last few days before our team celebration in Scotland however it has been very manic with the media interst in me and getting my 15 minutes of fame filming several interviews. I am now looking forward to getting back to training for a rest and cannot wait until the games (12-22nd March).

Make sure you keep an eye out for me.
