Leaving Limits on the Shore Inclusion and equality in sailing ⛵⛵⛵ “Sailing was always part of my world growing up. My parents were both passionate sailors, so I was on the water before I could even walk. But it wasn’t just about following in their footsteps - for me, sailing quickly became more than a hobby, it became a place where I felt free, where I wasn’t ‘the girl with one arm.’ On the water, I was just a sailor. That’s what lit the fire in me. It wasn’t a childhood dream to become a Paralympian at first, it was about proving to myself and to others that I was capable, competitive and more than their assumptions.” Hannah Stodel Read more about Hannah Stodel’s inspiring journey in sailing on page 66 of the summer edition🌼🏆🌼 https://issuu.com/educationchoicesmagazine/docs/education_choices_magazine_summer_2025/66 #educationchoicesmagazine #educationcornerpodcast #educationchoices #education #EDIB #DEI #equality #diversity #inclusion #belonging #HannahStodel #sailing #Olympics #olympian #Paralympics #Paralympian #inspiring #disability #overcomingchallenges #sport #womeninsport #femaleathletes

Let me repeat. "A veteran and #Paralympian asked the Canadian government for a #wheelchair ramp but was offered #AssistedSuicide." THIS is why #disabled people are scared of #AssistedDying. THIS is why it MUST NOT come to the UK, or anywhere else. It is literally a mortal threat to disabled people.

"A woman in Canada who was considering #AssistedDeath due to chemical sensitivities was able to find a new, safe home thanks to the kindness of strangers. And a veteran and #Paralympian asked the Canadian government for a #wheelchair ramp but was offered #AssistedSuicide instead" #CripCoop
