Kirsty Weir who, after 13 long years of battling with her health, finally found out that she has Neurological Lupus, an autoimmune disease that attacks her nerves, muscles and tendons causing complete numbness in her left leg, excruciating migraines, aches and pains and extreme fatigue.

Kirsty is however a fighter and an amazing athlete! While watching the Paralympics in 2021 a spark of hope flickered for Kirsty. She got to work by contacting a classifier for the Paralympics and received her classification to try and qualify for the Paralympics in 2024 in Paris, France. This is her inspirational story.
