It was great to be back home for a few days at the beginning of February as it gave me time to catch up with friends and family and of course the Paralympics GB team celebration in Edinburgh.

The week was not quite as relaxing as I would have liked been rushed off my feet sorting things out before heading to the holding camp and fitting all this around my growing Fame and Press interviews!!!

The holding camp out here in Winter Park for the team has been a great success and the whole team, as always, has been working well together and skiing seems to be peaking at the right time. It has been great to get back to training with the team and have a break from being at home!

In just a couple of days the team will all travel together in Paralympic Clothing up to Whistler where things will very quickly become more real and the pressure will build.

However, I am now, as you can imagine, very excited and cannot wait for the opening ceremony and the races to start. Although part of me would quite like another year!

I can’t believe that the time is finally coming that I will become a paralympian. Since I broke my back almost six years ago I have worked hard to get this far and it is a real privilege to have achieved my goal and get a chance to represent my Country at a Paralympic Games. Amazing! Bring on the games!
