Kylie is a Double Paralympian in wheelchair rugby and is currently training for the Tokyo Paralympics.
An Athlete, Show Jumper and aspiring olympian in her youth, Kylie experienced a life changing spinal injury when she was 18 and it only took her 3 years to return to sport and continue pursuing her dream.
In 2006 Kylie returned to competitive sport by cycling 450 km, from Vietnam to Cambodia, to raise money for Regain, a charity dedicated to helping get newly injured tetraplegics back into sport.
She started playing for the London Wheelchair Rugby Club in 2010, and for Great Britain in 2011. In 2012 she qualified for her first Paralympics in London.
