Initially it was a journey about one girl who wanted to go to the Paralympics but over the two years it has become something I was doing for everyone else. The reason I wanted to do it so badly was so I could stand here and show it can be done even if you have setbacks.

But we looked at it and realised it could be achievable if we managed it right and I’ve got great support from the National Lottery, psychologists, physios and all the coaches.

I’m staying with the cyclists but this has caused drama. The athletes keep saying I’ve changed sides but it wasn’t like that. It just worked out this way.

My mum was slightly stressed because she didn’t want it to make my condition worse and it is a big risk factor with the stress. Exercise kind of exacerbated the condition but as long as they knew it wasn’t going to make me worse they were happy.

I’ve been told I couldn’t do it a billion times in the past few weeks but I’m so happy I’ve done the two-sport thing and proved you can do amazing things. I’m glad I’m standing here as a role model showing people you can achieve these things if you put the hard work in.

I didn’t give up at any point even when my classification was changed. When people told me I couldn’t do it I never gave up at any point and I’m here proving if you work hard and you have a passion for something you can get there.

My message would be never give up.
