KATE GREY – PARALYMPIAN<br />
Kate Grey lost her left hand at 2 years old<br />
following a freak accident. At the age of 4 her<br />
parents encouraged her to learn to swim; it<br />
was a daunting task <strong>for</strong> Kate who was afraid<br />
of deep water and struggled to balance with<br />
one hand but she persevered and went on to<br />
swim regularly at her local club.<br />
AND PRIVILEGE TO SUPPORT<br />
ACHIEVEMENT FOR ALL,<br />
BECAUSE LIKE ME THIS CHARITY<br />
BELIEVES THAT EVERY CHILD<br />
MATTERS.”<br />
- KATE GREY<br />
Kate never let her disability hold her back,<br />
and alongside club swimming she also<br />
pursued a number of other sports including<br />
netball, athletics, tennis and horse riding. At<br />
the age of 10 she was offered the chance<br />
to compete in her first disability swimming<br />
competition.<br />
In 2002, aged just 13, Kate was earmarked<br />
as a potential Paralympian and she has been<br />
representing Great Britain <strong>for</strong> almost 10<br />
years.<br />
Kate has been representing <strong>Achievement</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>All</strong> as an ambassador since <strong>2014</strong>.
