Kirsty Wallace broke her back in May 2007. Initially paralysed from the waist down she worked hard to regain the use of her legs, the key factor being the facility and hardworking ethos at Headley Court. She was spotted at a Para-Olympic Talent ID day, and 2 months later she was training at her first GB wheelchair basketball camp. The same year she was named as a reserve for the European Championships. Wallace got her first cap for GB playing in the para-Olympic World Cup in Manchester in 2011, but missed out of selection for London by one spot. She has earned her place in the Invictus Team, whilst juggling her time as a mother with her 5 month old baby in tow for all training.
