Graham's nomination story

"This coach and family team have helped wheelchair racer Hannah break 15 world records in the past 4 years and become double world champion. She is now hopefully competing in her first Paralympic games thanks to their support. Their time and commitment to Hannah's everyday training schedule has meant them giving up all their spare time and money to help her achieve her dream. Graham plays taxi driver, driving Hannah up and down the country to competitions and training days and Rachel helps her stick to a strict nutrition plan. Peter Eriksson then passes on all his knowledge of the sport to keep Hannah at the top. Hannah's success would not be possible without this strong team behind her and although a medal in 2012 would repay them for their hard work, a chance to carry the Paralympic torch would be an amazing beginning start to a once in a lifetime opportunity."
