Theresa's nomination story

"First UK Womans Blind Cricket Team: 3 years ago I started to play Blind Cricket, always being the only female on the pitch. Together with a sighted ladies cricketer, Bethan Evans, we started working on a dream, to build an all female blind cricket team, the first of its kind in the UK and Europe, the only other of its kind is in Nepal. Playing cricket has inspired me to be more confident and ambitious, it taught me that a healthy body leads to a healthy state of mind. I am proud to say that with the help of Bethan our dream is becoming a reality. The best results are seeing the girls blossom, starting out quiet with low self-esteem, they change into confident, competitive team mates. There individual stories are truly inspirational, some gaining employment, some graduating from university and expanding their social circles. Our sight disability does not dictate our dreams and ambitions."
