Mikey Hall was left paralysed from the chest down after falling during an army assault course, breaking his neck and back in numerous places. Sport has played a vital role in Mikey’s recovery, particularly archery, for which he was already a qualified coach. He now uses a compound bow, ideal for target shooting and easier to use when in a wheelchair. This year, he was selected to spend 10 days in Sochi as part of the British Paralympic Association’s Paralympic Inspiration Programme. Hall, was talent spotted for Archery and Pistol Shooting after taking part in a skills test event at the Help for Heroes Phoenix House Recovery Centre. Archery isn’t Mikey’s only sport, he has hand cycled 445 miles from Edinburgh to London in May 2013. Hall has also learned how to swim using just his upper body and has competed in three half Ironman competitions. He is hoping to make it to the Paralympic Team GB for archery or shooting in time for Rio in 2016. Hall will be representing the British Armed Forces team in Archery.
