Look out for 21 year old Jamieson Leeson, who hails from Dunedoo in central west New South Wales in the upcoming Paralympics.
She’ll be representing Australia in Boccia in both the individual and pairs events in the B3 classification.
Boccia is one of the only sports specific to the Paralympics and basically it’s a ball target game that has similarities lawn bowls, boccie and snooker as well.
No matter the result at Paris – Jamieson is already hailed a hero at home in Dunedoo where she’s been immortalised in a huge mural in the center of town.
It does make me think of what her childhood was like there –I’m sure there were no other children scooting around the main street of town in a wheelchair
Jamieson says it certainly had its challenges but mostly benefits.
