Conor Balard - Junior Physical Activity and Sports Development Officer

As a congenital amputee, I discovered my passion for sports at an early age. Attending the LimbPower Junior Games was pivotal—it connected me with other children like me and opened doors to various sports. The learn-to-run workshops were transformative, propelling me into triathlon. While emotional support was limited, I believe a mentoring program could bridge that gap. Now, at 22, I’m a former national para swimmer, proud of my achievements and the competitive spirit that drives me.
