Amy’s story, told by Ellie Simmonds

10 year old Amy is a fantastic athlete and very competitive. Amy has Achondroplasia, a common form of Dwarfism, and she is the only member of her family to be born with the condition.

Although her height never stops her from competing, Amy can find it challenging when she takes part in events with tall people. So Amy trains every week with the Dwarf Sports Association, a nationwide sports organisation for people with restricted growth.

Supported by 91Èȱ¬ Children in Need, the DSA has helped Amy build her confidence and shown her just what she can achieve in a sport she loves.
