Her racing debut took place at the World Championships in New Zealand at the age of 18 where she became double World Champion in the T34 100m and 200m - she’s never looked back, and the rest is history!

Today, Hannah is a world-class para-athlete, and her positive, can-do attitude and determination has seen Hannah achieve success at the highest level in sports.  In 2022, in recognition of her ‘services to athletics’, she was awarded the OBE.

Off the track Hannah has a busy lifestyle with numerous appearances at events and on TV shows such as The Great British Bake off, The Crystal Maze, Strictly Come Dancing and Question of Sport.
