Lauren is a role model for women and girls everywhere, challenging stereotypes and advocating for greater representation of disabled athletes in mainstream media.

Her journey is one of perseverance, defying limitations and inspiring others to embrace their individuality. Whether

competing on the world stage, dazzling audiences on Strictly Come Dancing, or pushing herself to the extreme on

On International Women’s Day, Lauren’s story is a powerful reminder that courage and ambition can drive real change. Through her achievements, she encourages women to embrace their strengths, celebrate their differences, and push forward with confidence, no matter the obstacles.

“As a female athlete, the pride, the strength, the courage that we give to everybody else is one of the most important things.

Embrace everything it is that you are, and if you have differences, do not hide these differences. Whatever it is that makes you stand out, be proud of it.”
