A few photos from a PR shoot I did for Yorkshire Sport Foundation, for their comic relief funded project; Levelling the Playing Field, which uses sport and activity to build confidence in women. The morning was rounded off by some really inspirational female speakers, including the talented World and Paralympic champion Hannah Cockroft, and the next Lord Mayor of Leeds; Eileen Taylor
Photos from the Leeds Sports Awards 2013, which featured a number of successful athletes from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games
Earlier today I went along to meet the Athletes from Leeds, on their return from the London 2012 Paralympic Games. It was a great reception for them as hundreds of people gathered in Millennium Square in Leeds to welcome their heroes home. Athletes present today were:
“Hurricane Hannah” Cockroft – T34 100m and 200m Wheelchair Sprints – Double Gold medalist.
David Stone MBE – Gold and Bronze medalist in the Cycling Mixed T1-2 Road Race.
Claire Cashmore – Silver medalist in the Women’s SB8 100m Breaststroke and 4x100m Medley relay team. Bronze medalist in the Women’s 4x100m Freestyle relay.
Ali Jawad – 4th place in the Men’s 56kg Powerlifting
It was a great welcome home for the returning Athletes, and all have done both Leeds and GB proud!
