I have a strong sense that I have to educate people about disability. ↗

Thank you to everyone that has made me the athlete I am! God, family and friends, my competitors and supporters! You have all had a hand! ↗

I'd like to show people that if you put the hard work in and you believe in yourself, then you can do whatever you want to. ↗

Everyone has setbacks. I'm no different. I happen to have no legs. That's pretty much the fact. ↗

I can have my goals, and I can have my dreams. My goal is to make the finals and improve my position. I want to run all decent races. I don't want to look back and say I ran a terrible race. ↗

I don't see myself as disabled. There's nothing I can't do that able-bodied athletes can do. ↗

I don't want to be competing in a sport where I feel that I'm here not on my talent and my hard work but because of a piece of equipment. ↗

I still find it strange, I suppose, when I say to someone, 'Can you just pass me my leg?' But I don't ever think about my disability. ↗

I wasn't happy with my performance at the World Championships in Daegu. I had an unbelievable race in the heats, but misjudged the semi and finished last. ↗

Putting on my legs is like putting on my shoes. I understand that's how some people might think differently, but I hope that in London, their perceptions open up. ↗
