Taking part in sports and becoming a paracyclist has indeed changed by life for the better. For me it is a life-long dream to be representing my country in international sport. So, I guess it has filled a void in my life. It has obviously had a positive effect on my physical health and I am stronger and healthier now than I was before I started cycling. But for me the biggest effect has been on my mental health. Being active, healthy, spending time outdoors, and being with like-minded individuals has had a huge effect on my mental health and has helped me tremendously cope with a very challenging life.
