Replying to @CQualtro
Merci à @ALA_CD de m'avoir invitée à votre sommet de la jeunesse pour partager mon expérience du sport et son impact sur ma vie. Le sport nous aide à surmonter les obstacles, à prendre confiance en nous et à renforcer nos communautés.

For me, sport and being a part of the @CDNParalympics team taught me we all have a right to participate. Not just on the team, but in every aspect of society.

Thank you @ALA_CD for inviting me to your youth summit to share my experience in sport & the impact on my life.
