Talent

Amy is 18 years old and has a severe visual impairment. Over the past year, she became a nationally and internationally classified para-athlete in running.

Running has always been a passion for Amy, but when she was younger, she found it challenging to compete against able-bodied athletes. Her journey began with Parafed Taranaki sessions, which eventually led to the Halberg Games.

How We Helped

With help from Youth Boost, she’s now chasing her passion for running on both national and international stages.
