Rachael's nomination story

Rachael's passion is pistol shooting and she is a member of GB junior squad.She needs her sport and promotes it at school...it is unusual.Sin the future I want to compete at Olympics and Commonwealth Games.I am a pistol shooter and want to represent GB. I am a member of junior squad and want my coach Sue and my mum to see me on the podium. I also have Juvenile idiopathic arthritis and feel doing this will be an inspiration to all the other children with JIA that with determination you can suceed even though there are bad days.Hopefully my new treatment at Manchester Childrens Hospital will put me into remissionthey have been good to me. I also raise money for bully free zonea childrens charity in Bolton who have helped me and others deal with effects of bullying but have given me oppurtunity to speak at a NSPCC conference and get Princess Diana award.
