In 2004 in Athens Anne Wafula Strike became the first woman to represent Kenya in wheelchair racing at the Paralympic Games. Born a healthy child in Kenya, Anne contracted polio at the age of two. She suffered discrimination and abuse in her village as people claimed her condition was a curse from God. Later, after moving to England and getting married, she discovered the sport of wheelchair racing whilst watching the 2002 Commonwealth Games on television. She was hooked, and two years later, brimming with pride, she lined up at the start line with her fellow competitors in the women's T53 400 metres at the Paralympic Games in Athens. Anne shares her story, of battling against the odds, equipped with determination and her strong faith, to achieve her dreams. Today Anne is a Board member of UK Athletics and is a active campaigner for disability issues.
