GLL Sport Foundation Athlete 2026
Louise: I'm a proud Team GB transplant athlete competing in discus and shot put. My journey into sport began after receiving a life-saving liver transplant. From learning to walk again after being in a coma to completing over 320 races, including ultra-marathons, sport became my way of rebuilding physically and mentally. Today, I use every race, competition, and challenge to demonstrate the life-changing power of organ donation and resilience. Throughout my sporting journey, I have won 12 British medals and three World silver medals at the world championships. This year I was honoured to receive a commendation for services to sport, alongside being recognised with the Rob Burrow Award and named Disability Athlete Winner at the York Sports Awards 2025. In 2026 I will be competing in the European championships in Arnhem and later this year the British games being held in Sheffield hoping to bring home gold!
