Tomorrow marks the start of #DeafAwarenessWeek & I have such a busy week ahead. Today is 1071 DAYS since #MyChallenge to this Govt Department for Culture, Media and Sport began. Currently Department for Culture, Media and Sport The National Lottery discriminate deaf athletes canceling our existence. I am just as deserving as an #Olympic #Paralympic swimmer
It’s going to be full on as we approach #Olympics #Paralympics #Paris 2024 . Are you aware it’s 100th anniversary of #Deaflympics which began in #Paris 1924 known as the International Silent World Games. This is to be celebrated Department for Culture, Media and Sport The National Lottery not hidden. Show your support for all
Drew Barrand Hi. Would you be willing to meet with me Drew Barrand? As a deaf swimmer I am being discriminated & isolated. Next year I hope to compete in 25th Deaflympics. I need help. Everyday I witness what inclusion means to #Olympic & #Paralympic athletes. I exist & I need you to see me
I wait for our Government, our National Governing Bodies for #sport to acknowledge this great momentous occasion. 100th Anniversary #Deaflympics . #EndDeafSportDiscrimination & bring #fairness to our future.

From a little boy who hid his hearing aids for fear of being bullied, just wanting to ‘fit in’, be part of the group, be ‘normal’ to the man Nathan Young that swims for his country & is taking on the Government & National Governing Bodies who #discriminate an entire #disability
DAY 1060 #MyChallenge to this Govt Lucy Frazer Department for Culture, Media and Sport Stuart Andrew. For a Govt to lead National Governing Bodies along a path of #discrimination with no consequences or accountability then I’m not going to standby & let it continue.

It may have meant nothing to Aquatics GB or Swim England our National Governing Bodies for swimming but the GB Deaf Swimming Championships meant everything to us. If our NGB’s of swimming ignore us then please tell me who’s responsibility is it to acknowledge us Department for Culture, Media and Sport The National Lottery
