The 2016 Rio Paralympics have sadly come to an end and I would like to start the wrap up by expressing how incredibly proud I am of all of the athletes who competed for Australia. Our Aussie’s are an absolute inspiration not only to me, but to the whole country. #WeBelieve

The Australian team finished with 81 medals in total, consisting of 22 Gold medals, 30 Silver medals and 29 Bronze medals. We saw some unbelievably brave fights and some amazing acts of sportsmanship. Watching these athletes and learning about their lives and their stories really motivates me in my own life to give everything I’ve got to what I’m passionate about.
