Grace first became involved in triathlons after Maureen Cummings, former national triathlete and Grace’s PE teacher, saw her talent in running and swimming and encouraged her to give it a go.
As a first-time Paralympian, Grace says she wants to show the world how capable she is, and never to judge a book by its cover.
Grace has her sights firmly set on Paris 2024, but is also looking forward to Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032.
