Such an honour to work with Sight Scotland with more than meets the eye campaign 👩‍🦯
You’ll find me on Taxi’s, Busses and billboards around Edinburgh

Amazing 2 week training in France with @britishrowing preparing for Paralympic trails next week

An absolute honour, privilege & delight to spend the week working with a fantastic group of players & staff.
