Gymnast with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome breaking down barriers
A gymnast with a disability is aiming to break down barriers in her sport and hoping to qualify for a chance to retain her national school championship title.
Hannah Louise, 18, who has hypermobile joints caused by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, took up disability acrobatic gymnastics four years ago.
The teenager, from Staffordshire, is competing in a regional qualifier in Fenton Manor on Saturday.
Having Ehlers-Danlos means her joints dislocate easily, she has chronic pain and fatigue and uses a wheelchair because she cannot walk long distances.
She said her club was a great place to go to "get on with [the gymnastics] like everyone else does".
