As a serving member of the Armed Forces, SAC Shona Brownlee is both a musician and an incredible Para Alpine Sit Skier! Her journey has not been an easy one;

‘Eight years ago, I sustained a leg injury during basic training. It was only my ninth week in the RAF and I’d barely begun my career before the accident happened. What initially appeared to be a simple ligament sprain developed into a complicated, painful condition that failed to heal. Seven years later, I found myself still reliant on crutches with no hope of recovery. Surgery hadn’t worked and I had exhausted all treatment options. Instead I opted for an elective, below the knee amputation. Removing my damaged leg has transformed my life for the better, both professionally and personally.’

I true inspiration of resilience and determination which will ensure she is unstoppable as she strives to get to the Paralympic Games next year.
